Although the following site is designed with an Australian audience in
mind, it contains over 200 links (with descriptions) to sites and papers
relevant to the digitisation process, and as such I thought it might be
useful to people like Shane Beverley who need information on things like
scanning resolutions. The site is constantly being updated. International
visitors are more than welcome, although the Register of Projects is
specifically for Australian projects.

The Digitisation Forum Online (DFO) is a web site for those working in
Australian art galleries, libraries, museums, archives and other public and
private institutions who are engaged in projects involving digitisation.
The DFO has been funded by the Commonwealth Department of Communications
and the Arts as part of its Australia's Cultural Network Internet project.
This web site was developed in South Australia with the support of Arts SA
and Ngapartji Cooperative Multimedia Centre.
The site helps the target audience keep up to date with the latest
developments in digitisation, to locate other institutions within the
country who are involved in digitisation activities, and to share expertise
and experience in this field.
This site features an Australian Projects Register - a list of projects
undertaken by cultural institutions that involve digitisation. The thirty
or so projects currently listed in the Register can be searched via a
number of filters to find those that are of particular relevance to a
cultural institution or stakeholder.
The site also lists relevant Australian and international conferences, and
has links to over 200 websites and papers in the following areas:
Technical Standards
Cataloguing, indexing and metadata
Preservation and Archiving
Migration and storage
Access, navigation and finding aids
Copyright, Intellectual Property, Authenticity
Hardware and Software
Budgetting
General information (Includes Project Information & exemplar sites)
Resources (Includes resource groups, e-journals & e-mail lists)
