<div dir="ltr">I want to note that in the hours after we heard the news I didn’t realise the importance of preserving Jean-Claude’s work. I think its important to recognise that it was information management professionals who immediately realised both the importance of preservation and the risks to the record and set in motion the processes necessary to start that work. I remain, like most researchers I suspect, sloppy and lazy about proper preservation and we need the support of professionals who understand the issues and technical challenges, but also are engaged with preservation of works and media outside the scholarly mainstream if science that is truly on the web is to have a lasting impact.<div>
<br></div><div><b><font color="#ff0000"><u>The role of a research institution, if it is to have one in the future, is in part to provide that support, literally to insitutionalise the preservation of digital scholarship.</u></font></b></div>
