Abstract
This paper focuses on the long-term preservation issues for the Digital Archive System of Taiwan Baseball Culture Assets. Funded by the Digital Archive Project of National Science Council in Taiwan, the system was created five years ago and became outdated. It suffered problems such as overloading and unstableness. In order to preserve the valuable information that accumulated in the system so it can be accessed by users for a long period of time, the researchers adopted the technologies of refreshing, standardization, metadata, system migration, and system redundancy to upgrade the system. Then, we analyzed the website’s log files to examine the effectiveness of the new system. Finally, the article suggests the National Science Council to establish a long-term digital information archive office as soon as possible, to plan the long-term preservation strategy, to train the technical staff, and to encourage team work between industry and academic units in order to provide the needed assistance for digital archive projects.
