The era of mass digitisation of historical materials has been under way long enough that today cultural institutions around the world have huge digital collections and incalculable, still growing quantities of data. While gathering and archiving these resources is an obvious move, the form in which they’re made available and stored can vary, and depends both on the nature of the collections and on local conditions, user expectations and institutional policies. The panel will present the most important centralised digital projects of the national libraries of Estonia, Hungary, Israel and Poland, bringing them together to offer a varied view of the current state of digitisation, postproduction and access to collections.
