👉 Archives computing refers to the practice of managing, preserving, and providing access to large collections of digital data, often historical or institutional records, within computing environments. It involves the use of specialized storage systems, data management techniques, and digital preservation methods to ensure that these archives remain accessible and usable over time despite technological changes. This field addresses challenges such as data migration, format obsolescence, and maintaining data integrity, while also focusing on the ethical and legal considerations of handling sensitive or confidential information. Archives computing plays a crucial role in supporting research, governance, and the long-term preservation of digital heritage.
