A number of employees from the National Archives, members of the Friends of the National Archives and representatives from Linguamine Ltd are to receive training on digitisation for archives under the Leonardo Mobility Measure.

This forms part of a project entitled Preserving Digital Archival Content submitted by the National Archives last year for EU funding.

The project partners are the Open Society Archives in Hungary, the Institute of Mathematics and Informatics in Bulgaria, Global Microfilm Digital SRL and Datadisc Ltd, Italy.

The exchanges will give participants first-hand experience of the digitisation of documents, long-term preservation policies and the opportunity to interact with specialists in the field.

At the end of the project, which spans one year, the experiences will be compiled in a manual on digitisation for archives.
