Digitizing for Preservation and Access: Past is Prologue
23rd Preservation Conference
March 26, 2009
About the Conference
This conference focused on the "what and why" questions of selecting what records to digitize depending on institutional approaches, case studies, standards, and management techniques for projects and programs. Building on the 2007 conference on how to digitize records, this conference provided an opportunity to see theory become practice.
Digitizing for Preservation and Access: Past is Prologue explored:
- Digitization approaches from a few different institutions
- Federal guidelines and approaches to long-term management of digital records
- Archival and preservation preparation for digitizing records
- Public interface and providing access
- Case studies in digitization from a variety of institutions
