[OpenGLAM] Data loss in digitization projects?

Tue Feb 18 12:30:26 UTC 2014

Dear Daniel (and others),

I do not know more about this specific company, but it is definitely an
interesting topic.
My former colleague of the National Library of the Netherlands, Barbara
Sierman works as Digital Preservation Manager and has set up a great
initiative called the Atlas of Digital Damages, where stories and examples
of what can go wrong with digital data are collected.
It is available here: http://www.atlasofdigitaldamages.info/v1/ - under
Stories you can find many examples of data loss.

Best, Lieke
