DIGITIZATION PARTNERSHIPS The National Archives and Records Administration

National Archives and Records Administration Digitization Strategy

NARA’s Strategic Plan, Strategic Goal 4: We will provide prompt, easy, and secure access to our holdings anywhere, anytime. By 2012, 1 percent of archival holdings are available online. Strategy Two: NARA will establish partnerships with organizations from a variety of sectors to accomplish this.

NARA Principles for Digitization Partnerships Partners will digitize full series or file segments of records, not just selected documents: To provide for full access and effective preservation. To retain an “archival view” of the records. Online access to the products of the partnerships will always remain free in NARA research rooms.

NARA Principles for Digitization Partnerships After an agreed-upon period of time, NARA gains unrestricted rights to the digital copies. The partner shall pay all direct costs associated with the digitizing partnerships.

Digitization Partnerships for Archival Institutions Issues & Challenges

Issues and Challenges: Start-up Issue: Start-up of a partnership and each subsequent project requires significant resources: Development of the initial partnership agreement Selection of projects Development of project plans Challenge: Institutions must develop and use standard practices to the extent possible but remain flexible to adjust to unique circumstances.

Issues and Challenges: Start-up (2) NARA is committed to “non-exclusive partnerships”: We will have multiple partnerships but any original records series will be digitized only once. For any institution that follows suit, bear in mind: Issue: Partners are competitors. Issue: All records are not equal. Issue: Partners are not equal.  Challenge: Institutions must develop a fair and equitable way of assigning records to be digitized by partners.

Issues and Challenges: Start-up (3) Selected NARA Partnership Project Plan Elements Information about records to be digitized Work plan (equipment, formats, image sizes, etc) Description metadata required to be delivered to NARA Partner personnel for project NARA personnel for project Document preparation issues Estimated NARA costs to be paid by partner Special issues

Issues and Challenges: Capture The vast majority of the online images were obtained from NARA microfilm publications. Issue: Digitizing original records is enormously more time-consuming for both partners and the archival institution, especially with older, less standardized records.  Challenge: Institutions should continuously strive to find appropriate ways to achieve greater efficiency in digitizing original records.

Issues and Challenges: Capture Issue: Many archival series will include records that require some specialized effort, such as those that are oversize or require treatment before imaging.  Challenge: Institutions must develop efficient and cost-effective ways to address special issues that arise during the capture process.

Issues and Challenges: Capture Issue: Partnerships bring certain costs to archival institutions in the areas of management, coordination, training, space requirements, and follow-up quality assurance and storage.  Challenge: An institution must realistically assess the impact partnerships will have on resources and work plans.

Digitization Partnerships for Archival Institutions A Balanced View

A Balanced View: Benefits Institutions may gain from a partnership: Increased understanding of digitization Opportunities to see effect of different digitization and presentation strategies Vast increase in numbers of documents digitized Development of additional descriptive metadata Enhanced public access to holdings Preservation benefits as documents are retired from the research room

A Balanced View: Cautionary Notes Institutions entering into a partnership should be prepared for: Significant coordination and management efforts Less control than with an in-house project Slower progress than anticipated Ongoing discussions with the partner to overcome unexpected developments and ensure that the results match the promise
