- Digitizing the past: next steps for public sector digitization, looks at at history of digitisation projects in the UK. It looks at the issues relating to programmes such as the Arts and Humanities Research Council Resource Enhancement Scheme, the lottery-supported New Opportunties Fund and the JISC Digitisation Programme. It reviews some of the reasons for successes and failures within these programmes, in particular looking at the greater emphasis being placed on sustainability and the need for managers of digital resources to ensure their digitised data is available from multiple locations.
