Using the lottery preparation, we prove that any strongly unfoldable cardinal κ can be made indestructible by all <κ-closed κ + -preserving forcing. This degree of indestructibility, we prove, is the best possible from this hypothesis within the class of <κ-closed forcing. From a stronger hypothesis, however, we prove that the strong unfoldability of κ can be made indestructible by all <κ-closed forcing. Such indestructibility, we prove, does not follow from indestructibility merely by
