🧵 2/ #Digitization is THE topic in many sessions. We're not talking about large-scale digitization but smaller collections of materials accumulated during a lifetime of research.

There is a great responsibility in taking over a collection, and institutions like libraries & archives don't necessarily have routines for this particular material.
