Dear Madam, dear Sir,
The UK Presidency of the European Union has recently launched the
'Dynamic Action Plan for the EU co-ordination of digitisation of cultural
and scientific content'. In the centre of this action plan, is a range of
short-term and longer-term initiatives designed to make Europe's cultural
and scientific resources more accessible to a broader public by using
digitisation technologies and the Internet.
The plan outlines the following six objectives:
* Providing strategic leadership in a dynamic and changing
environment in which rapid technological and economical developments are
taking place. * Strengthening co-ordination and forging stronger links
between
Member States' digitisation initiatives, EU networks and projects.
* Continuing efforts in overcoming fragmentation and duplication
of digitisation activities and maximising synergy.
* Assessing and identifying appropriate models, funding and
policy approaches to sustain development and long-term preservation
strategies.
* Promoting cultural and linguistic diversity through digital content
creation * Improving online access to European cultural content.
To download the full text in English, French or German, please follow this

<http://www.minervaeurope.org/publications/dap.htm>
The action plan is the result of work carried out by the National
Representatives Group on digitisation policies and programmes, in
particular under the Netherlands, Luxembourg and UK Presidencies of the EU
and takes forward the is sues of the Lund Action Plan (2001). For more

Library of Congress plans world digital library

By Eric Auchard
SAN FRANCISCO, Nov 21 (Reuters) - The U.S. Library of Congress is kicking
off a campaign on Tuesday to work with other nation's libraries to build
a World Digital Library, starting with a $3 million donation from Google
Inc.
Librarian of Congress James Billington said he is looking to attract
further private funding to develop bilingual projects, featuring
millions of unique objects, with libraries in China, India, the Muslim
world and other nations.
This builds on major existing digital documentary projects by the Library
of Congress -- one preserving an online record of Americana and another
documenting ties between the United States and Brazil, France, the
Netherlands, Russia and Spain.
"The World Digital Library is an attempt to go beyond Europe and the
Americas...into cultures where the majority of the world is,"
Billington told Reuters in a telephone interview.
As an example, Billington said the Library of Congress is in
discussions with the national library of Egypt to include a collection of
great Islamic scientific works from the 10th through the 16th
Century in the World Digital Library.
"We are trying to do a documentary record of other great cultures of the
world. How much we will be able to do will depend on how many additional
partners we attract," he said.
Over the past decade, the American Memory Project of the Library of
Congress has digitized more than ten million items to create a
documentary record of Americana. A link is located at:
http://www.loc.gov/memory/.
These include manuscripts, maps, audiovisual recordings, cartoons,
caricatures, posters, documentary photographs, music, and, to a lesser
extent, historic books. The World Digital Library would draw on a similar
variety of multimedia objects.
A second project, known as the Global Gateway and introduced in 2000,
involves collaborations with five national libraries in Europe and Brazil
that focus on documenting ties between each of those countries and U.S.
culture.
(http://international.loc.gov/intldl/find/digital_collaborations.html/)
GLOBAL CULTURES
By contrast, the World Digital Library will focus on creating records of
global cultures. The Library of Congress will contribute its own body of
works to a blended collection with other countries. More than half of the
printed volumes in the Library of Congress are in languages other than
English.
"It will deal with the culture of those people rather than with our
contacts as Americans with those cultures," Billington said.
Web search company Google has agreed to work with the Library of
Congress on developing standards for indexing the digital collections and
by providing computer equipment.
The Library of Congress push adds momentum to a variety of competing
projects by leading Internet companies and some of the world's greatest
libraries to make available online a range of historic literature, audio
recordings and film archives.
The plans unveiled over the past year mark the most sustained drive yet
to make good on the vision of Internet pioneers to open the world's
library collections to a global online audience. The dream suffered from
a lack of funding and the distractions of the dot-com era's
get-rick-quick schemes.
Among these are a major push by Google with five major academic
libraries to digitize their book collections.
Meanwhile, the Open Content Alliance, backed by Yahoo Inc. , Microsoft
Corp. , the non-profit Internet Archive and other major libraries, is
looking to create an online clearinghouse for historic books, audio and
films.
The Google Print project has been met with lawsuits by the New
York-based Authors Guild and five U.S. publishers who are seeking to
block Google's plan to create an online card catalog of copyright works
in the collections of its library partners.

4. "Extreme Conservation" Wins Top Award;
PREMIS Working Group wins Digital Preservation Award
& other Conservation Awards
Press release from the Museums, Libraries and Archives Council (MLA)
_____Forward header_____
From: Emma Poole <emma.poole at mla.gov.uks>
Date: 11/23/05 10:57am
Subject: "Extreme Conservation" Wins Top Award
For Immediate Release
"Extreme Conservation" Wins Top Award
London, 22 November 2005 -- The Ł15,000 Award for Conservation - presented
by British Museum Direct or Neil MacGregor - has been won by Tim Martin of
Context Engineering Ltd. for the conservation of Force Crag mine
machinery, a National Trust commission.
Context Engineering played a crucial role in fulfilling the National
Trust's plan to open the site to visitors and let them experience the
rugged working conditions. The 15-strong team triumphed ove r the extremes
posed by the remote site and the unpredictable Cumbrian weather while
sorting throug h a vast array of rusting machine parts. They identified,
cleaned and treated the parts to protect them, while working out what
went where inside the old mine buildings. Their success was confirmed
when a party of former miners made a tour of inspection and were amazed to
see that everything was back in place just as they remembered it.
The team of highly-skilled conservators worked with meticulous precision
and speed to re-assemble t he machinery from the ore-processing plant of
the last working mineral mine in the area. Lead, zinc
and barytes had all been extracted from the mine from as early as the
1600s. The machinery had bee
n partly dismantled and left to the mercy of the elements after Force Crag
mine was abandoned in 19 91.
Liz Forgan, Chair of the Judges, commented, "Mining is at the heart of our
industrial heritage, and
Tim Martin's superbly planned and thoroughly researched work at Force
Crag holds lessons for other
s working in this field. The judges were particularly impressed by the
minimal intervention approac h of the conservation team, which is still
all too rare in industrial heritage conservation. As muc h scrupulous care
and thought has been lavished on these heavy metal objects as we would
expect fro m a conservator approaching a work of fine art. This is a truly
remarkable and awe-inspiring projec t."
Sarah Staniforth, Director of Historic Properties at The National Trust
said, "The National Trust c ongratulates Context Engineering Ltd on
winning the Conservation Award 2005. The conservation of Fo rce Crag Mine
is an exemplary project demonstrating how conservation can help to make
our industria l heritage understandable and relevant for the public.
Furthermore, it shows the breadth of the Nat ional Trust's conservation
responsibilities, which are wider than collections in country houses! He
re is a collection in a site of great archaeological significance set in a
dramatic landscape."
Other major awards went to:
* Opening up London's past: The new Ł10 000 Award for Care of
Collections, focusing on improvement s in the way collections are housed,
has been won by the Museum of London for opening up its huge c ollections
of objects held at the London Archaeological Archive Research Centre
(LAARC) in Hackney.
LAARC houses a fascinating mix of objects from 5000 excavations across
London, including pottery,
metals, stone, bones and soil, which throw light on the lives of Londoners
over two millennia. The project team faced a huge challenge - how to get
this mass of material into order so it could be ac cessible to the public.
The scale of the task was daunting: 150,000 recorded artefacts, ranging
fro m Roman pomegranate seeds to Saxon jewellery and Tudor tankards;
120,000 boxes of finds including c eramics and building materials, 75
tonnes of architectural stonework, 4000 environmental samples an d over
17,000 human remains. Recruiting volunteers from different backgrounds
aged from 15 to 87 ma de the task manageable and involved the community in
caring for the collections. As a result of the ir hard work, anyone can
now discover the archaeology of their local area through the Museum websit
e and then come in to view the finds.
Presenting the Award, Mark Wood, Chairman of the Museums, Libraries and
Archives Council (MLA), com mented, "It is encouraging to see so many
people taking an interest in conservation issues. One of the priority
areas for Renaissance, MLA's project to re-vitalise England's regional
museums, is to enhance the care and conservation of collections. The
Awards celebrate the immense expertise and le adership of the UK's
conservators and their vital contribution in caring for the nation's
heritage. "
* Maintaining digital materials over time: The Ł5000 Digital Preservation
Award was presented by L oyd Grossman to a US-based team for the
achievements of PREMIS - the Preservation Metadata: Impleme ntation
Strategies Working Group. Digital materials can be easily altered and the
technology used t o access them changes very rapidly. Information that
records relevant details about digital materia ls is needed to make sure
they can be managed over time and that they remain authentic and accessib
le. This information is called preservation metadata. The Group has
published a Data Dictionary for
Preservation Metadata and other tools to provide guidance for
institutions which need to create, m
anage and use digital materials.
Lynne Brindley, Chief Executive of the British Library, presenting the
Award, commented, "The groun d-breaking work of the group, involving more
than thirty experts from five countries, will help to ensure that all the
information necessary to maintain digital materials over time can be
applied in
a more standard way. Many organisations will need preservation metadata
to support the long-term m
anagement of digital materials and the Data Dictionary fills a critical
gap in the technical infras tructure needed to support the preservation of
our growing digital heritage."
* Contemporary sculptures in the spotlight: The coveted Ł10,000 Student
Conservator of the Year Aw ard goes to Katey-Mary Twitchett and
Northumbria University for her imaginative project to explore the
preservation of contemporary works of art, looking at conservation issues
raised by sculptor Ro n Mueck's hyper-realist works. Liz Forgan OBE, Chair
of the judges, described the project as "inspi ring work which has made a
real contribution to the understanding of materials used in contemporary
artworks. Over time, museums and galleries will undoubtedly need answers
to the questions Katey-Ma
ry has begun to ask. The judges were tremendously impressed by her
personal commitment to the conse rvation of contemporary art and the way
she engaged with the artist. She is already an asset to her
chosen profession and an outstanding Student Conservator of the Year."
Katey-Mary tested the effects of light exposure on the pigments, polyester
resins and silicone rubb ers used by Mueck and showed that over time, the
appearance and intention of his work could be mark edly altered. She
recommended conservation measures to help retain their hyper-realistic
appearance . Ron Mueck commented, "Before meeting Katey-Mary, I was much
more vaguely aware of the question of
the longevity of modern plastic materials. As a result of her project,
some of my concerns relatin
g to the materials I work with have been confirmed and brought into focus.
She has provided me with
a definitive list of requirements for the handling, presentation and
storage of my works in the fu
ture."
* Definitive double-glazing for churches: Stained-glass expert Mark
Bambrough was the winner of th e prestigious Anna Plowden Trust Award for
furthering conservation research and innovation, awarded
for his invention of a new kind of secondary glazing system for
stained-glass windows. Existing sy
stems alter the external appearance of the windows through reflection and
glare, damaging the appea rance of the building. Presenting the Award,
Francis Plowden commented "Mark's system is a vast imp rovement on present
solutions in retaining the aesthetic appearance of these historic windows,
whil e protecting them from environmental damage." The system has been
used with great success at New Ki lpatrick Church in Glasgow.
