Emulation practices are computational, technical processes that allow for one system to reproduce the functions and results of another. This article reports on findings from research following three small teams of information professionals as they implemented emulation practices into their digital preservation programs at a technology museum, a university research library, and a university research archive and technology lab. Results suggest that the distributed teams in this cohort of preservationists have developed different emulation practices for particular kinds of “emulation encounters” in supporting different types of access. I discuss the implications of these findings for digital preservation research and emulation initiatives providing access to software or software-dependent objects, showing how implications of these findings have significance for those developing software preservation workflows and building emulation capacities. These findings suggest that different emulation practices for preservation, research access, and exhibition undertaken in libraries, archives, and museums result in different forms of access to preserved software—accessing information and experiential access. In examining particular types of access, this research calls into question software emulation as a single, static preservation strategy for information institutions and challenges researchers to examine new forms of access and descriptive representation emerging from these digital preservation strategies.

图书馆、档案馆和博物馆中软件保存的仿真实践

仿真实践是允许一个系统复制另一个系统的功能和结果的计算技术过程。本文报告了三个信息专业人员小团队在技术博物馆、大学研究图书馆和大学研究档案馆和技术实验室将仿真实践应用于数字保存计划后的研究结果。结果表明,这群保护者中的分布式团队已经针对特定类型的“模拟遭遇”开发了不同的模拟实践,以支持不同类型的访问。我讨论了这些发现对提供对软件或软件相关对象的访问的数字保存研究和模拟计划的影响,展示了这些发现对开发软件保存工作流程和建立仿真能力的人有何意义。这些发现表明,在图书馆、档案馆和博物馆中进行的保存、研究访问和展览的不同模拟实践导致了对保存软件的不同形式的访问——信息访问和体验访问。在检查特定类型的访问时,这项研究质疑软件模拟作为信息机构的单一静态保存策略,并挑战研究人员检查从这些数字保存策略中出现的新访问形式和描述性表示。这些发现表明,在图书馆、档案馆和博物馆中进行的保存、研究访问和展览的不同模拟实践导致了对保存软件的不同形式的访问——信息访问和体验访问。在检查特定类型的访问时,这项研究质疑软件模拟作为信息机构的单一静态保存策略,并挑战研究人员检查从这些数字保存策略中出现的新访问形式和描述性表示。这些发现表明,在图书馆、档案馆和博物馆中进行的保存、研究访问和展览的不同模拟实践导致了对保存软件的不同形式的访问——信息访问和体验访问。在检查特定类型的访问时,这项研究质疑软件模拟作为信息机构的单一静态保存策略,并挑战研究人员检查从这些数字保存策略中出现的新访问形式和描述性表示。
