Abstract

The National Library of Wales digitisation programme has been running since 1999. Millions of items from its varied collections have now been digitised and made freely available online this includes: • Over 1 million pages of newspapers • Over 1 million pages of journals and periodicals • Millions of pages of monographs • Hundreds of thousands of photographs • Tens of thousands of manuscript folios • Tens of thousands of paintings, maps and other graphic items • Over 1 million archival items • Thousands of hours of AV material Until now the library has been using a number of individual workflow tools to manage & process images and metadata to support its digitisation programme. To expand its programme to include a wider variety of content types, the library is seeking to acquire a new workflow tool to facilitate remote working, build efficiency into its processes and prepare items for ingest into its fedora-based repository. The digitisation workflow management tool should streamline the process of digitising NLW collections enabling users to input digital images, process them with OCR, and export METS/PCDM documents with ALTO-formatted OCR, structural metadata, and derivative files in JP2 format. The tool should feature an easy-to-use web-based interface that is platform-independent and able to import descriptive metadata via Z39.50 or tagging with unique IDs Additionally, it will offer basic adjustments such as de-skewing and tonal adjustments and allow the user to manipulate imported images
