The final report was released on 4 August 2010.
The Minnesota Digital Library (MDL) seeks to explore a common infrastructure strategy that will bring the state a significantly enhanced capacity for preserving and accessing its cultural heritage. The MDL senses a common need and opportunity in providing large-scale digital content repository services for Minnesota, and considers establishing a shared digital preservation service a valuable initial goal.
As stated in the summary of a January 2010 meeting of stakeholders: “To move the discussion from the hypothetical to the practical, we should begin building a prototype. It should be collaborative, meeting the needs of the primary partners (MDL, UMN, MHS, Minitex) and extensible to other partners (e.g., MPR, TPT, county and local historical societies).” Given that the MDL has already amassed a reasonably large set of image data on behalf of partners around the state, the first step in exploring such a common infrastructure will be to define digital preservation and access requirements for image content. This document defines the needs and bounds of a demonstration project that would preserve digital images already in the MDL’s care and some beyond its current reach.
