Can you clarify the emphisis that NOF is placing on digital preservation?
The nof-digitise programme is linked to lifelong learning and the overriding objective is to fund the digitisation of a wide range of materials that will be available free of charge at the point of access on the People’s Network and National Grid for Learning. It is important to secure the long-term future of materials created, so that the benefit of the investment is maximised and the cultural record is maintained in its historical continuity and media diversity. Therefore preservation issues should be considered an integral part of the digital creation process. Projects should consider the value in creating a fully documented high-quality digital master from which all other versions (e.g. compressed versions for accessing via the Web) can be derived. This will help with the periodic migration of data and with the development of new products and resources. NOF is providing guidance to applicants on digital preservation, further details of which can be found in the nof-digitise Technic
