New Principles for Access to Digital Materials
Posted by Marieke Guy on November 9th, 2010
Last week the Collections Trust announced a new set of Principles for Supporting Long-term Access to Digital Material, commissioned by MLA and produced by the Collections Trust with the support of a range of organisations including The National Archives, Heritage Lottery Fund, Archaeology Data Service, British Library, Digital Preservation Coalition, Museums Galleries Scotland, Joint Information Systems Committee and UKOLN.
The Principles form the first part of a programme of work during 2010-11 to develop guidance to support both funders and cultural institutions in developing digital resources that are more sustainable, both through Digital Preservation and more generally through the management of the Digital Content Supply Chain. The Principles Paper is available to download from Collections Link.
