The document discusses Sweden's national strategy for digitization, digital access, and digital preservation established in 2011. The strategy aims to regulate the work of government agencies and institutions that collect, preserve, and provide access to cultural heritage information. It covers the full range of digitization issues from selection to preservation and use. Digisam's main task is to coordinate work related to the national digital strategy from 2012-2015 by serving as a knowledge hub, making recommendations, and defining roles and responsibilities regarding digital cultural heritage.

6. The national strategy for digitisation,
digital access and digital preservation
• The national strategy for digitisation, digital access and digital
preservation was established by the Swedish Government on
21 December 2011.
• The aim of the strategy is to regulate the work for the
government agencies and institutions that collect, preserve
and make cultural heritage information available for the end
users.
• The strategy covers the whole range of digitisation issues,
from selection to the preservation and use. The focus is on the
opportunities digitisation offers for use, reuse and creativity,
and what is necessary for this to be possible.
