| Pharaoh: long-term digital preservation |
The goal of the Pharaoh Project is to improve the reliability of
long-term digital content. This means that digital assets stored now
should remain accessible, interpretable and usable for as long as
desired — well beyond the lifetime of any particular storage system
or storage technology.
