Title: Declaration of Principles -

This is FYI for those who attended the "Bob Harriman" early morning edition of the PADG meeting in Seattle.

Toward the close of the session I mentioned that I had seen a Canadian "Declaration of Principles" about reformatting. The source is the Canadian Council of Archives Preservation Committee. The full title is: Declaration of Principles Concerning the Relationship of Digitization to Preservation of Archival Records (Ottawa, Ontario: Canadian Council of Archives, 2002). Included are the following two principles:

2. Digitization is, above all, part of an access strategy.

3. The process of digitization must not place original records at risk of damage from handling or use.
