The digital is reaching beyond the confines of computers into our physical world more and more with each passing day. The chapters in Part 2 explore the work being done along this ever blurring edge between two worlds. How is the Internet of Things capturing information about us and the physical world all around us? And how is this flood of data being exposed and leveraged? How is digital colour preserved and accurately reproduced for the human eye? How can building information modelling be extended to support collaborative work on historical buildings which need management of a broader set of contextual information?

Professionals who are pushing the boundaries between the physical and digital worlds while also concerning themselves with preserving context, accuracy and privacy will pave the way for archivists pursuing similar goals in their work to preserve authentic digital records permanently.
