Abstract
The possibility of a Digital Dark Age worries computer scientists, archivists, and librarians, but it also concerns humanists and social scientists.

This report is based on texts and interviews with experts. Here we provide an overview of this emergent and urgent problem and present suggestions for prevention.Link to publications or other datasets
