This paper provides a comparison between the American and Indian digital preservation programmes based on the essential building blocks such as national legislation for digital preservation, basic legal framework, national digital preservation initiative, digital preservation tools, standards and practice guidelines, digital repository infrastructure, and audit and certification. Selected digital preservation policies of the organisations from UK, USA, Canada, and Australia are also analysed. The gap analysis shows that in the Indian context, legislation on digital preservation of electronic records and institutional digital preservation policies are the missing elements, which need to be addressed on high priority. The preservation policy is a mandatory requirement for the audit and certification of trustworthy digital repositories. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
