Translations:Digitization, Preservation and Ingest/84/en

As human rights organizations working with unique and invaluable material, we can easily be tempted to digitize all our material in the highest available resolution to ensure the best possible quality of digital surrogates. However, this would be neither feasible nor sustainable, as it would create immense difficulties in storing, processing, and preserving such files long-term. Therefore, organizations must make digitization quality specifications in line with their goals and capacities. As a guide, Table 12 provides an overview of what is often considered minimal and optimal resolution quality levels for digitization of different types of physical items.
