people and put to more uses? How much money and time should continue to be devoted to physical preservation of original documents? The National Archives of Australia has recently mandated that they will soon only be accepting material in digital format. What
are the implications of this kind of policy for historians? Will digitisation degrade or enhance access to past stories by future generations?
