Massdigitisation and infrastructure
necessary platforms for an accessible and usable digital
cultural heritage

2.
The national strategy for digitisation,
digital access and digital preservation
• The national strategy for digitisation, digital access and digital
preservation was established by the Swedish Government on
21 December 2011.
• The aim of the strategy is to regulate the work for the
government agencies and institutions that collect, preserve
and make cultural heritage information available for the end
users.
• The strategy covers the whole range of digitisation issues,
from selection to the preservation and use. The focus is on the
opportunities digitisation offers for use, reuse and creativity,
and what is necessary for this to be possible.
