Low-Cost, On-Demand Film Digitisation and Online Delivery
نویسنده
چکیده
Hundreds of millions of pages of microfilmed historical documents are not being digitised at this time due to insufficient individual demand to garner appropriate commercial attention and investment. This paper demonstrates that the cost of digitisation and online delivery can be lowered dramatically using a novel application of recent technological advancements in imaging, data processing and storage. A business model is presented such that an on-demand service can be provided whereby an individual end user can afford to personally sponsor the digitisation and online delivery of an entire reel of film. Such a model could co-exist in the market with the large scale digitisation efforts and provide an invaluable service by removing access barriers to the entire breadth of film archives.
