Master Files are the best-quality files we produce through digitization and are intended to be preserved long term without loss of any essential features. The number of master files we will create will depend on the content of the originals and the planned uses of the digital surrogate. In addition to master files, we can also produce a number of secondary files, often called “access” or “service” files. These files are created from the master file and optimized for the intended use (e.g., for web or for research).
