From the Written Text to the Internet: How to Preserve the Intangible Heritage?
Pouvoirs n°153 - Les Archives - avril 2015 - p.109-124
The ongoing digital revolution is of the same magnitude as the revolution of the mid-12th century (long before the invention of the printing press) which led to the emergence of a book culture through the mastering of alphabetic technologies. It is having a strong impact on the archivist profession which has been founded, since the Middle Ages, on the recording of certified written texts whose reliability and authenticity could be established, and which is now shifting from a stable and durable mode of production to digital traces that are both volatile and constantly refashioned on the internet. The article analyses the answers given to this formidable challenge by illustrating their limits and stressing the main issues at stake.
