Editor's Notes
- National & regional archives, not kept under proper system, unordered, open to the elements R: Capital of Portuguese Guinea (Guinea Bissau) Bolama. Covers period of Portuguese colonial rule L: Regional archive of Calabar, E Nigeria
- EAP has a broad interpretation of the word ‘archive’; it can include printed sources such as books, newspapers, periodicals and ephemera; manuscripts, visual material such as photographs, prints and drawings; video, film and sound recordings. Even documenting rock inscriptions located in Libya (EAP265) and a current award (EAP692) which is our first grant that has been awarded so that temple murals can be digitised.
- 338 projects in 90 countries. Tristan da Cuhna
- Home page – important information – grants programme run by Arcadia ARCADIA - a charitable fund of Lisbet Rausing and Peter Baldwin – whose main commitment is to support organisations and institutions to preserve cultural heritage and guarantee open access to the results of the projects for everyone. . Award grants on annual basis, to preserve significant, vulnerable collections. Create digital surrogate, relocate, better storage of originals, BL receives a copy, local archival partner. We make available online
- The conversion process to JP2 highlighted a number of problems with non-standard TIFF images that were created by project teams. Conversions were rejected. Digital Preservation team have seen a number of 'never seen before' issues with these images. Narrower naming protocols for ingest into AWS and automated JP2 conversion. Images in wrong order or in need of rotation Poor quality images Metadata not always matching digital folder/file. Number of images not matching. Incorrect names on listing spreadsheet resulting in not being able to run automated renaming processes (Flash Renamer).
