Dear all,

I came across a couple of interesting takes on the subject of archive digitisation that you might find useful. The two pieces complement each other quite well.

Firstly an archivist from Bedfordshire Archives talks about why it is not possible to digitise everything in your collections: Why not digitise everything? - YouTube

Next Tim Gollins from The National Archives talks about why it is helpful to take a 'parsimonious' to digitising, by doing what you can with the limited resources you have available: Parsimonious preservation: Preventing pointless processes (2009) (nationalarchives.gov.uk)

Enjoy!

Robin
