Most libraries, archives and museums around the globe are now
confronting the challenges of providing digital access to their
collections. As digitization becomes more widespread, there is huge
demand for detailed guidance on best practice. While much has been
written on the theory, these practical aspects have often been
neglected, but they are significant not only in safeguarding the
collection during image capture but also in ensuring that projects
run smoothly and the resulting digital collection is of high
quality. This practical guide fills that gap, offering guidance
covering the end-to-end process of digitizing collections, from
selecting records for digitization to choosing suppliers and
equipment and dealing with documents that present individual
problems. As such, it can be used as a 'how-to' reference manual
for collection managers who are embarking on a digitization project
or who are managing an existing project. It also covers some of the
wider issues such as the use of surrogates for preservation, and
the long term sustainability of digital access. Key areas covered
are: digitization in the context of collection management before
you digitize: resources, suppliers and surrogates the digital image
the process of selection surveying collections equipment for image
capture preparation of document formats and fastenings preparation
of damaged documents setting up the imaging operation. Readership :
A clearly-written guide to a complex process, this book is an
essential resource for all collection and project managers who have
responsibility for the preservation of archival collections, as
well as all industry professionals whose role touches on the
digitization of collections.
