It would be great of folks could point to 1) good examples of discription of scope and content and 2) any relevant standards. https://qanda.digipres.org/297/documenting-scope-and-content-for-web-archives Fri, 22 Aug 2014 18:18:20 +0000 https://qanda.digipres.org/155/questions-considerations-acquisition-architectural-drawings <div class="entry-content"> <p> Libraries and Archives that collect and aquire in architicture and design often collect both finished architectural drawings and archives containing drafts and revisions of those drawings as well as prints and photographs. Given that drafting has become a principly digital afair, with its own set of special formats, what kinds of formats should libraries be seeking? Spesifcially, in what situations does it make sense to aquire original files from idyosyncratic production formats (DWG,DXF, etc), and in what cases does it make sense to try and get exports of computer aided design documents into other formats, like PDF?</p> <p> In particular, I would be interested in what questions and considerations a curator should think through regarding 1) sustainability of formats and 2) richness of the documentation of the architectural/design record?</p> </div> <p> &nbsp;</p> https://qanda.digipres.org/155/questions-considerations-acquisition-architectural-drawings Mon, 07 Jul 2014 19:13:13 +0000
