Northeast Document Conservation Center (NEDCC) Announces Publication of
Handbook for Digital Projects: A Management Tool for Preservation and Access
http://www.nedcc.org/digital/dighome.htm
Below is an announcement of an important Handbook for those in
museums, libraries and archives preparing to digitize collections. As
one would expect from the NEDCC there is strong emphasis on thinking
hrough issues of preservation and access as institutions think about
digitizing material. This work is based on the very successful
series of "School for Scanning" workshops held since 1996.
The Handbook "combines a tutorial on technical issues with an
overview of larger issues, including the need for preservation of
digital products. It begins from the premise that investing in
digital conversion only makes sense if institutions are prepared to
provide long-term access to digital collections."
