Show moreWhile digitization is not a digital preservation plan, methods used to execute digitization work can support future preservation efforts. Our approach in supporting digital preservation work is to conduct image analysis of the camera and resulting images to ensure FADGI compliance. Ensuring the quality of our preservation files increases the reliability of their survival in a digital preservation storage environment. This presentation covers how to use device and object level targets during the imaging process, what the importance of those targets are, and how exactly they're used to analyze the quality and accuracy of a camera's output. Running images through the Golden Thread software results in many points of data that enable us to understand our output from a scientific perspective. We will demonstrate how we review our analysis results and determine the necessary adjustments to make in our capture process for true FADGI compliance.

Show moreThrough lessons learned over the past 20 years of digitizing materials, it is apparent that we need to (re)structure our digitization program specifically around human action for sustainability. New technology leads to improved imaging techniques, which ultimately drives best practices in the cultural heritage field. These changes pose challenges not just to KSL, but to all institutions who invest their resources to meet current standards, only to have those standards change a few years later. Time and experience has helped us understand that sustaining the digitization and stewardship of digital collections require as much, if not more, infrastructure, staffing, and other various resources as our physical collections do. Given this challenge, we will consider what human actions support the long-term efforts of digitization and describe the value and impact those actions will have on our ability to foster partnerships beyond the university.
