| description | Preserving software and providing access to obsolete software is necessary and will become even more important for work with any kind of born-digital artifacts. While usability and availability of emulation in digital curation and preservation workflow has improved significantly, productive (re)use of preserved obsolete software is a growing concern, due to a lack of (future) operational knowledge. In this article we describe solutions to automate and document software usage in a way, such that the result is not only instructive but also productive.
