Translations:Manual Overview/14/en

For all these reasons, among CSOs working with material on human rights violations, there is a concrete and growing need for information and resources on digital archiving—including a manual such as this one. On the one hand, digital archiving of such material is quickly becoming a necessity for these organizations. On the other hand, CSOs often lack the necessary knowledge and skills for the creation and development of digital archives and would, therefore, benefit from a resource that provides structured guidance through the process and an overview of challenges, tips, and best practices. While there are already very good Manuals available dealing with different aspects of physical archiving, there is no systematized yet practice-based and practice-oriented guide for CSOs addressing the entire digital archiving process.
