Strategies for a digital cultural heritage!LAC, Ottawa the 3rd of June 2016

The national strategy for digitisation, digital access and digital preservation

• The national strategy for digitisation, digital access and digital preservation was established by the Swedish Government on 21 December 2011.

• The aim of the strategy is to regulate the work for the government agencies and institutions that collect, preserve and make cultural heritage information available for the end users.

• The strategy covers the whole range of digitisation issues, from selection to the preservation and use. The focus is on the opportunities digitisation offers for use, reuse and creativity, and what is necessary for this to be possible.

The main task is to coordinate the work with national digital strategy within the timeframe 2012-2015– Node for knowledge and competence– Present recommendations for coordinated digital information

access and preservation of digital cultural heritage information.

A cost-effective infrastructure is in place. It supports a high quality digitization, use and preservation.
