The Global List of Digitally Endangered Species – The Bit List – offers an accessible snapshot of the concerns expressed by the global digital preservation community with respect to the risks faced by diverse types of digital content in varied conditions and contexts. It provides an elementary assessment of the imminence and significance of the dangers faced by different, and at times overlapping classifications of digital materials. By identifying the urgency of action and significance of content, The Bit List draws attention to those digital materials that, in the view of the global digital preservation community, require urgent action to remain viable.
