Abstract/Summary: This article discusses the issues of data management and content storage in the digital museum and art gallery, particularly focusing on the long-term preservation perspective. It advocates the importance of digital preservation in the museum area. We illustrate the relationship between management and preservation, and indicate that unsuitable preservation methods may raise certain security issues. This is followed by the description of several strategies that help to improve the preservation of digital collection available for the public over the long-term.
