The thesis focuses on the long-term preservation of digital content or digital information, in particular with respect to memory institutions. Emphasize is given on the "frailty" of digital information on the one hand, and on the importance of its preservation for the future as part of the cultural heritage on the other hand. One of the thesis's aims is to show the high technical and organizational complexity of the preservation of digital documents and new demands for operation of memory institutions that result from such complexity. The thesis proceeds from the preliminary general notes on the issue of digitization via the description of specific problems and methods of digital archiving and the overview of planning and certification tools of trustworthy digital repositories to the summary of legislative conditions for digitization in the Czech Republic and European Union. The follow-up case study deals with the project of establishing the National Digital Library within the National Library of the Czech Republic.
