<span style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif">Digitization can be the final step in processing collections, facilitating access, and even aiding in collections’ long-term preservation. Like other collections care endeavors, digitization should not be undertaken
without an understanding of best practices, safe techniques, and the knowledge to make the right decisions.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
