Abstract

While archives across the UK are recognizing the potential of digitization to unlock their treasures, the realities of a large-scale digitization project can be daunting for any institution. This article will explore how partnerships between publishers and archives can help the latter face the challenges of getting content digitized. It will take a look behind the scenes of the longstanding partnership between Adam Matthew (AM; a specialist publisher of digital primary source collections), and The National Archives at Kew (TNA; the UK government's official archive). It will explore how this kind of relationship develops; how the production process works, and how products are brought through to market.
