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.

år och gapet mellan digitalt skapad information
och den tekniska lagringskapaciteten ökar…

In 2011 the Swedish Government
The Swedish national strategy for digitisation of our common cultural heritage, covers the entire range of digitisation issues, from selection to the preservation and use. The focus of the strategy are the opportunities digitisation offers to users, participation and creativity, today and tomorrow and the conditions necessary for this to be possible.
In order to promote that the strategy should not rest in the bookshelves, the Government also assigned the National Archives, one of 24 state funded cultural heritage agencies and institutions, to set up a coordination secretary, later named Digisam.
