I recently attended the Digidaily newspaper project review at the National Archives department for digitization Media Conversion Center (MKC) in Fränsta, Sweden. I describe here some of the secrets of the success I observed and also my review and recommendations for the future directions suggested by this ground breaking project.

Getting Right to the Point
My assessment of the Digidaily project is that the production house, the quality assurance, the digitisation workflow, the very high throughput and the balance of costs against productivity to deliver such a high standard of colour imaging of newspapers is truly world class and amongst the best I have ever witnessed.
All my best,
Simon
