>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:
>* preparation, selection, and analysis of source material
>* microfilm quality control
>* the basics of digital imaging technology
>* project workflow
>* preservation concerns
>* cost and quality
>* 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 OConnell, NEDCC Preservation Consultant, and guest speakers.
