[OpenGLAM] Data loss in digitization projects?

[Daniel Mietchen]

Dear all,

I think I have come across, in a GLAM-Wiki context, a story about a
company (probably in Italy, perhaps in Florence) that had done one (or
some) digitization projects and then went bankrupt, leaving no data
whatsoever, despite considerable public investment in the project.

Do any of you remember details and have a link on the matter? Do you
know of similar cases of data loss in digitization projects?

Thanks and cheers,

Daniel
