Translations:Digitization, Preservation and Ingest/87/en

In the section dealing with the planning and organization of a digital archive, we discussed the important process of describing the archival material on several of its relevant attributes and creating a connection between those descriptions and the material by recording them in a table. This is necessary, as it allows us to later search for, locate, and identify items and item groups based on those descriptions and properly manage, preserve, and use the archival material. The same principle applies to digital surrogates.
