The document discusses a case study comparing the lifecycles of analogue and digital newspaper collections at the British Library. It analyzed 1,100 volumes from the Burney Collection that were digitized from microfilm, totaling 1,000,000 pages. The study developed methods to compare workflows, costs, and other elements across different stages of the analogue and digital lifecycles. It found that while comparison was complex, costs were similar for many stages, and analogue lifecycles were more established than digital ones.
