For librarians and libraries who are thinking about why they should invest and digitize historical collections. We believe that digitization projects are very good at:
1. Embracing digital technology to improve access to historical content.
2. Creating public opportunities for researchers to access your collection.
3. Providing assets that enable historical research to thrive.
4. Creating opportunities for your library to serve your community in new ways.
5. Going to where your customers start research.. online.
6. Marketing your services to new customers.
7. Telling stories with your historical content.
We believe that Digitization projects can increase access to holdings without putting them in danger of theft or destruction.
An example of a successful digitization project is the Virtual Manuscript Library of Switzerland.
