Information Sheet: Collection Digitisation - Preservation and Access Media Files

This information sheet outlines the differences between preservation files and access files, and shares considerations for best practice when working with the digitised images of your collection.  

It is designed to be read in conjunction with the Collection Digitisation – Post-Production information sheet.  

Whilst this information sheet has been developed for organisations using Victorian Collections to manage and share their collections, the advice and principles are broadly applicable to collecting organisations.
