Dear all,
 
My colleague Sally is currently reviewing our standard for creating and preserving digital images and has asked me to poll the SHCG list. 
 
If you are able to share your digitisation policy/manual that would be great, otherwise a few lines on how you create, save and store your images, the meta data you use and crucially why you use this standard would be extremely useful. 
 
I know there are some guidelines out there, but it would be useful whether people are actually using them!
 
Feel free to share responses directly with the SHCG list, or if you want to reply off list please email Sally directly: [log in to unmask]
 
Thanks!
 
Jenny
