Photo Number: PH036_4392 Comments about the image or metadata: I am browsing the collection to look for any relations to my fiance (Umatilla Tribal Member), and came across this photo. I was touched by the sweet little dog in the photo asleep on the blanket, and wondered why he was not mentioned in the description.  I know it took a long time to pose for these photos, and merely getting the scene right must have made the baby and dog both exhausted.

47. Digital preservation
Ensuring the long-term maintenance of a bitstream (the zeros and ones):
backing up files and keeping a copy at an offsite location
running checks to track the deterioration of storage media, files or bitstreams

48. Digital preservation
Providing continued accessibility of the contents:
viability - making sure that information is intact and readable from the storage media
renderability - making sure that information is viewable by humans and able to be processed by computers
understandability – making sure that information is able to be interpreted by humans
