Documents from Symposia

In 2009, the Extending the Reach project hosted two one-day symposia at UNC-Chapel Hill, the first, on February 12, dedicated to the legal and ethical implications of large-scale manuscript digitization, and the second, on March 12, dedicated to the sustainability of large-scale manuscript digitization. Notes and slides from some of the presentations are available for download. For a full description of both symposia, see pages 16-20 of the report.
