Libraries and others cultural institutions have to manage more and more digital native documents or coming from digitization projects (for example to preserve historical collections and to spread them on a large scale). It is now essential to take into account the long time preservation of these data.
Lots of cultural institutions turned to the CINES to help them with this preservation mission.
The archives data are from various origins: digitized works (manuscripts, periodicals, old prints…), thesis, dissertations, pictures, videos…
