The December 1998 (Volume 2, Number 6) issue of RLG DigiNews is now
available at:

http://www.rlg.org/preserv/diginews/ (from all points other than
Europe)
or
http://www.thames.rlg.org/preserv/diginews/ (from Europe)

Oya Rieger, Co-Editor of RLG DigiNews, opens this issue's feature article,
"Digital Archiving: Approaches for Statistical Files, Moving Images, and
Audio Recordings." The article addresses digital
archiving from a different viewpoint - responding to the digital
preservation needs presented by different types of digital material. A set
of co-authors describe the problems and issues associated with their
specific material (statistical files, moving images and audio files) in:
- Archiving Statistical Data: The Data Archive at the University of Essex
by Simon Musgrave and Bridget Winstanley;
- Universal Preservation Format (UPF): Conceptual Framework by Thom
Shepard; and
- Norwegian Digital Radio Archive Initiative by Svein Arne Brygfjeld and
Svein
Arne Solbakk.

This issue's technical feature addresses a question often raised at the
beginning of digital imaging projects - "What kind of digital camera or
scanner should I use?" Peter Hirtle, Assistant Director,
Cornell Institute for Digital Collections, and Carol DeNatale, Registrar,
Herbert F. Johnson Museum of Art, Cornell University, relate their
experience in "Selecting a Digital Camera: the Cornell Museum Online
Project."

Rounding out this issue is a current calendar of events, project
announcements, a highlighted web site, and a FAQ regarding technical issues
associated with UMI's Digital Vault Initiative.
