Showerthought: hearing 'digital archive' at the library
I was at the main branch in Portland last week and overheard a librarian talking about their new 'digital archive' project. It made me think about how we used to spend weeks on a single restoration, like that 1890s atlas with the split spine. Now they just scan it and call it done. Does anyone else feel like the craft part is getting lost in the rush to digitize everything?
