Report
on Preserving Digital Image Collections at Cornell University Library
Cornell University Library has produced the first of a two-part report
on depository guidelines for digital image materials. This work has been
funded in part by the Institute for Museum and Library Services. The first
section outlines requirements for those wishing to transfer digital image
resources to the central depository, and covers selection criteria, legal
issues, technical imaging requirements, metadata, and storage. The second
part of this report will detail the role and responsibilities of the central
depository staff. This section will be available in fall 2001.
Cornell welcomes comments and suggestions on part one of the report.
