Workshop on preservation microfilming and digital scanning

The Northeast Document Conservation Center presents
A Workshop on Preservation Microfilming and Digital Scanning
September 9-11, 1997
University of Oregon, Eugene, Oregon

As we approach and enter the 21st century, digital technologies will
have a profound impact on the way institutions provide access to
information.  But will digitization also become a tool of the
preservation community? NEDCC's reformatting workshop will address
this question.  Emphasis will be divided equally between general
principles of reformatting, preservation microfilming and digital
scanning for preservation. The program includes hands-on experience
and teaches skills for:

    *   planning reformatting projects
    *   selecting and preparing materials
    *   selecting and evaluating a vendor
    *   microfilm and imaging technology
    *   inspection and quality control
    *   evaluating digital imaging for preservation

Registration must be received by August 22, 1997.  Attendance is
limited to 15 participants accepted on a first-come-first-served
basis.  The price of the workshop is $225.  It includes the cost of
Preservation Microfilming: A Guide for Librarians and Archivists,
2nd ed., edited by Lisa Fox, Preservation Consultant. To request an
flier and application contact Gay Tracy at <tracy<-a t->nedcc< . >org> or call
