Abstract

Blockchain technology offers promising solutions for the digital preservation of library records, ensuring digital objects’ authenticity, integrity, and provenance. This paper explores the use of blockchain in various pilot projects and case studies from institutions like the UK National Archives, MIT Media Lab, and the Internet Archive. It highlights the effectiveness and challenges in scalability, energy consumption, and cost these projects faced. Through these case studies, the paper assesses blockchain’s potential for large-scale digital preservation and outlines future research directions to overcome existing barriers.
