The Next R/Evolution: Issues and Lessons from Mass Digitization of Archival Collections
Researchers increasingly expect to access valuable content remotely. As a result, archives are beginning to move beyond "cherry-picking" interesting documents from collections to the digitization of entire collections. This presents unique challenges in the area of copyright and descriptive practices. The speakers, drawing on their practical experience in collection digitization, describe the challenges and benefits of what they argue should be the paradigm for archival digitization in the future.
