    <pre> Northeast Document Conservation Center presents

    Preservation Options in a Digital World: To Film or To Scan A Seminar on Preservation Microfilming and Digital Imaging of Paper-Based Materials

    March 27, 28, 29, 2001

    at the Minnesota Historical Society, St. Paul, Minnesota

    The seminar is funded in part by the National Endowment for the Humanities. It is co-sponsored by the Minnesota Historical Society and the Upper Midwest Conservation Association.

    In the 21st century, digital technologies will have a profound impact on the way institutions manage and deliver information. But will digitization also become a tool of the preservation community? Will microfilm become obsolete?

    This seminar will evaluate an emerging digital technology against a set of preservation criteria and a proven preservation microfilming model.

    It is designed to teach administrators critical thinking and criteria for evaluation: how to plan and implement projects, how to evaluate technology as a preservation strategy, and how to understand the relationship between costs and quality. Instruction will focus on compliance with national and international standards as well as best practices for both microfilm and digital imaging. This is not a technician training program. It is a management seminar with a preservation focus.

    After an introduction to fundamental preservation strategies, the faculty will present lessons learned from a decade of investigations in the viability of using digital technology for preservation purposes. The curriculum includes in-depth discussion of the following topics: 7 preparation, selection, and analysis of source material 7 microfilm quality control 7 the basics of digital imaging technology 7 project workflow 7 preservation concerns 7 cost and quality 7 microfilm/digital hybrid approaches

    Presented by: Becky Ryder, Preservation Librarian, University of Kentucky Bob Mottice, President, Mottice Micrographics, Inc. Paul Conway, Head, Preservation Department, Yale University Library Millie O Connell, NEDCC Preservation Consultant, and guest speakers.
