Minimum Digitization Capture Recommendations
If your institution is involved in digitization the Minimum Digitization Capture Recommendations provides some guidelines for long term preservation. It is up for review, so please comment.
In 2011, the Association for Library Collections and Technical Services Preservation and Reformatting Section charged a task force to develop guidelines for libraries digitizing content with the objective of producing digital products that will endure. The intent of this document was to build off past works. The authors reviewed previous research, practices at over 50 organizations, and samples of digitized works to determine a recommendation of minimum specifications for sustainable digitized content. The recommendations are not intended to dictate specific technical specifications at any given institution, but rather a floor that should not be dropped below. This draft was the result of the task force?s work. It is now up for general comment before it is published in its final version.
