Conservation• Durability - accordance with international guidelines

concerning digital long term preservation• High quality scans, resembling the orginals as much as possible

> reduce the manipulation of the originals• Implications for long term storage of the original scans for

libraries (storage space, cost, future access)

• High demands due to the specificity of architectural journals• Variety of formats, also within one journal• Typography is important > poses high demands on OCR• Publicity as historical source > OCR• Plans, drawings, photography > requiring high quality scans
