Using Kodak Photo CD Technology for Preservation and Access:  Guide for

Cornell University Library Department of Preservation and Conservation has
just published a brochure summarizing the findings of a study to evaluate
the use of Kodak Photo CD technology for preserving and making available a
range of research materials. Funded by a grant from the New York State
Education Department's Program for the Conservation and Preservation of
Library
Research Materials, the study was conducted in cooperation with the eleven
New York State comprehensive research libraries. In addition, six other
institutions participated in investigating the applicability of the findings.

Building on the work undertaken at Cornell on digital capture requirements
for text-based materials, the project was designed to evaluate the Photo CD
technology by controlling the factors affecting image quality during
photography, digitization, and on-screen viewing. The study involved only
paper-based documents, and was limited to documents scanned using the basic
Kodak Photo CD method (Image Pac).
