    Richard Rinehart, Director of Digital Media at the Berkeley Art Museum/Pacific Film Archive and Digital Media faculty at UC Berkeley, authored a September 2002 working paper for Rhizome on preserving the Rhizome ArtBase, an online archive of new media art. He advocates emulation—preferably hardware-level emulation—outlines artwork and technology metadata requirements, recommends tools and collection policies, and urges obtaining and archiving legal copies of software alongside a storage-migration plan using optical/read-only media and backups. He recommends Rhizome prepare metadata, storage and policy solutions and join collaborative projects to test open-source hardware emulators.
