The network society has not yet solved the challenge of memory loss. Transient contents, technological obsolescence, what will remain of today's digital memory?
Important efforts are made to overcome the decay but technological, institutional

preservation, net-art curation, web archiving, presenting both research projects, working solution and services in the domain.
