Canadian Heritage Information Network Releases New Web Site
http://www.chin.gc.ca/English/index.html
Includes "Creating and Managing Digital Content"
http://www.chin.gc.ca/English/Digital_Content/index.html
CHIN is also executive producer of the Virtual Museum of Canada
http://www.virtualmuseum.ca/English/Gallery/index.html
The Canadian Heritage Information Network (CHIN) was created in 1972 "to
foster sound management of the knowledge and collections developed by
museums and to provide public access to that knowledge through a national
inventory of museum collections across the country." Its new web site was
launched May 1.
More than 700 Canadian museums have joined in the collaborative effort to
develop content for on-line audiences and the results can be seen at the
groundbreaking portal coordinated by CHIN: The Virtual Museum of Canada
http://www.virtualmuseum.ca/English/Gallery/index.html.
One of the most useful and interesting components of the new CHIN site is a
Guide to "Creating and Managing Digital Content" designed to "guide museum
managers through the planning and implementation of a digitization project.
It covers issues such as non-digital images, new photography, the exposure
and care of objects, copyright, storage and much more."
(http://www.chin.gc.ca/English/Digital_Content/index.html).

The National Digital Information Infrastructure and Preservation Program Web Site Launched http://www.digitalpreservation.gov/ndiipp/
Background Environmental Scans http://www.digitalpreservation.gov/ndiipp/repor/repor_back.html
Papers also available as a CLIR Report "Building a National Strategy for Digital Preservation: Issues in Digital Media Archiving." http://www.clir.org/pubs/abstract/pub106abst.html.
The National Digital Information Infrastructure and Preservation Program was established by Congress to "develop a national strategy to collect, archive, and preserve the burgeoning amounts of digital content, especially materials that are created only in digital formats, for current and future generations."
As an initial step, the Library of Congress scheduled a series of meetings with various stakeholder groups from the technology, business, entertainment, academic, legal, archival, and library communities. Background papers were commissioned to give "environmental scans," for the meetings. These papers are available on the new NDIIPP web site together with a summary of background findings and a summary of the meetings.
