Digital Editions and Collections: An Archivist’s Point of View

By Katie Blizzard

This recorded interview showcases archivists’ viewpoints on digitizing initiatives, particular in regard to issues of preservation, access, institutional partnerships and collaborations, and community engagement. It also provides an alternative point of entry for thinking about creating digital editions and working with digital materials. One of the main goals of this conversation is to identify sites of shared vision and commitment for the many different practitioners working in the ecosystem of digitizations, digital collections, and digital editions, centering an archivist’s point of view on how digital partnerships and collaborations can be fruitful for all parties.
