Implications Forming a (false?) canon Scholarly/public awareness Influencing future research and research projects

9. Concluding Considerations Digitising Timescale (overall project planning) File formats (open, long-lasting, multi-platform) Resolution (current and future use, preservation) Storage (file sizes, space, costs) Organising Underlying metadata schema (current and future use) Fixed or dynamic (editable?
