| Abstract: | An IMLS-supported project is creating a fully searchable, digital, page-image archive of rare, historic Kentuckiana books using a microfilm-to-digital methodology. The presenter will discuss how microfilm ensures preservation and the digital images ensure easy access and wide distribution. This hybrid, standards-based, nonproprietary approach can serve as a model for cost-effective access and preservation of published materials. | |
