Textual preservation refers to the methods and practices used to maintain and protect written works over time. This includes physical preservation techniques, such as storing documents in controlled environments, as well as digital preservation, which involves using technology to ensure that texts remain accessible and readable. Historically, various cultures have employed different strategies for textual preservation, such as copying manuscripts by hand or using printing presses. Important texts, like those from ancient Greece or the Bible, have been meticulously preserved to ensure their survival and continued study by future generations.
