Subject: SEMINAR "DIGITISATION OF HISTORICAL SOURCES ON MICROFORM"
In the Historical / Archival community microform is a widely used data
storage medium. Nowadays digital storage is an attractive alternative.
It can be used supplementary and complementary with microform
techniques. Systems and methods are available to digitize microform very
efficiently and with high quality. On May 12th, just before he IMC at
Dusseldorf (Germany) (http://www.iimc.org), the Netherlands Historical
Data Archive (NHDA) will organise a seminar to inform the archivist,
researcher and librarian on the possibilities to digitize several types
of microform, resulting in high quality images.
For more information on the program of the seminar and a registration
form, see: http://www.leidenuniv.nl/nhda/seminar.html
