Abstract

The digital is still rather unusual in a literary archive. One reason for this may be that an author’s estate usually only reaches the archive after his death or at least when he is at an advanced age. In other words, the archive reflects our present with a time lag. But born-digital estates require fast action. Digital data is fragile. In this insight, we look at the challenges of born-digital literary estates.
