Subject is almost irrelevant when talking about preservation Way I preserve a scanned image of a specimen is fundamentally the same as how I’d preserve an image of a manuscript But, metadata standards are important to make sure context, descriptive data are properly described.
Scanning is people work.
Does not specify the management systems or archiving strategy of the file itself. PDF/A is not a total solution. Good format, needs other pieces previously described to be “archival”
