Excerpt from DPC Annual Report 2008-2009

Over the last year we have been working to develop the Library’s digital repository in order to meet the needs of customers and allow us to work more closely with our partners. One example of joint-working would be the Memorandum of Agreement signed by NLS, NLW and the BL to develop a shared infrastructure for UK legal deposit materials. There are plans to make some of these materials available in reading rooms by mid-2010.

The installation of a digital video transfer suite has enabled the Library to store uncompressed video on a network and expose it to digital preservation activities such as automated integrity checking. Half a million pages from our Gaelic book collections have been digitised and are being used to explore the changes required to move the master storage format from TIFF to JPEG2000.

We continue to archive a selection of websites that reflect the knowledge and culture of Scotland using the Danish Netarchive web archiving suite. Agreement with the Scottish Government ensures that we continue to collect the government website, as well as initiating a pilot focusing on the deposit of web-only government publications into the trusted digital repository.
