Digitization Standards for the Canadian Museum of Civilization Corporation: Scan and Artifact Photography

Digitization Standards for the Canadian Museum of Civilization Corporation: Scan and Artifact Photography

This resource began as a working tool to improve digitization standards at the Canadian Museum of Civilization. As such, it uses actual examples taken from the museum collections. Other museums can use this document as a resource to build their own digitization standards—or to build reliable procedures on related topics. It can also be used as a quality-control tool for museums that wish to monitor the work of external digital suppliers, thereby helping to improve the quality of deliverables. This is not a detailed tool, nor is it final. It is a collection of basic guidelines that will change and evolve over time, as technology and knowledge develop.
