Introduction

On 20 October 2006 the National Library of the Netherlands (KB) and Nationaal Archief of the Netherlands organised the first Emulation Expert Meeting (EEM) on digital preservation. The goal of this meeting was to enforce the discussion on the applicability and feasibility of emulation in the field of digital preservation. Several experts in the field of emulation, digital preservation and IT in general joined in to discuss their findings. This resulted in an official statement on emulation and a list of required steps to successfully apply emulation for digital preservation.
