DIGITAL CONVERSION OF NINETEENTH CENTURY PUBLICATIONS - PRODUCTION MANAGEMENT IN THE AUSTRALIAN COOPERATIVE DIGITISATION PROJECT 1840-45

This article will discuss and evaluate the management and production issues of the Australian Cooperative Digitisation Project 1840-45 - a collaborative project funded by the Australian Research Council. The completion of this digital library project allows the authors to reflect on the technical issues and the interrelationships of the content, project organisation, the production model with its access and preservation goals, and issues of quality control, in relation to the future viability of such projects.
