The Northeast Document Conservation Center has recently released a set of valuable web resources for preservation and digitization. The entire release includes disaster planning, online preservation education curriculum, and a full selection of NEDCC leaflets on a variety of topics.
Of particular note to digitization managers are the two sections on:
* Toolkit: What's Wrong With This Picture which covers creating long-lasting quality digital master images and covers how to preserve these digital images over time.
* Tookit: on Surveying Digital Preservation Readiness This toolkit "contains readings and resources on preservation and digitization of photograph collections, based on a highly successful three-day workshop series" and is chock full of helpful research, conference presentations and reports.
NEDCC also sponsors several on-site professional development opportunities, including Stewardship of Digital Assets: A two-day workshop, Persistence of Memory: Sustaining Digital Collections, and continuing preservation education programs.
