Abstract

This paper explores a ?National Digital Library? project, which has been accepted by the Ministry of Culture as a candidate for European funding under the Integrated Operational Programme. The National Library of the Czech Republic, along with the Moravian State Library in Brno, have prepared an ambitious project with two main goals ? 1) to accelerate the digitisation; 2) to establish a trusted long-term preservation repository. 1.2 million documents should be digitised within the next 20 years.

The most fragile documents should be digitised during the five-year project between 2010 and 2015. Available at: 7 http://www.rinascimento-digitale.it/eventi/conference2009/proceedings-2009/hutar.pdf.
