Oya Rieger, Co-Editor of RLG DigiNews, opens this issue's feature article,
"Digital Archiving: Approaches for Statistical Files, Moving Images, and
Audio Recordings." The article addresses digital archiving from a different
viewpoint - responding to the digital preservation needs presented by
different types of digital material. A set of co-authors describe the
problems and issues associated with their specific material (statistical
files, moving images and audio files) in:

- Archiving Statistical Data: The Data Archive at the University of Essex
     by Simon Musgrave and Bridget Winstanley;
- Universal Preservation Format (UPF): Conceptual Framework
     by Thom Shepard; and
- Norwegian Digital Radio Archive Initiative
     by Svein Arne Brygfjeld and Svein Arne Solbakk.

This issue's technical feature addresses a question often raised at the
beginning of digital imaging projects - "What kind of digital camera or
scanner should I use?" Peter Hirtle, Assistant Director, Cornell Institute
for Digital Collections, and Carol DeNatale, Registrar, Herbert F. Johnson
Museum of Art, Cornell University, relate their experience in "Selecting a
Digital Camera: the Cornell Museum Online Project."

Rounding out this issue is a current calendar of events, project
announcements, a highlighted web site, and a FAQ regarding technical issues
associated with UMI's Digital Vault Initiative.
