It is not a question of how many artifacts are preserved. Whatever the amount saved, their meaning has now migrated to their live interactivity with delivered knowledge and information. Their meaning has migrated to their continuing role in the context of digital delivery.

Preservation is now also concerned with the preservation of meaning.
Artifacts are the backups for their own digital delivery.
