File Fixity and Digital Preservation Storage: More Results from the NDSA Storage Survey A vexing property of digital objects is the difficulties they pose to ensuring their ongoing authenticity and stability. Files can become corrupted by use, bits can rot even when unused, and during transfer the parts essential to an object’s operability can be lost.
