CFP - Microform and Digitization Review

Beginning with the first issue of 2011, Microform & Imaging Review will have a new name:

Microform and Digitization Review
Preservation and Access Issues for Cultural Heritage Institutions

The new name reflects the true scope of the journal and its audience. Although not peer-reviewed, the journal reaches an international audience, and articles are published soon after submission. Sample articles are available at:

The editor is seeking authors to write on variety of topics:

- Case studies of innovative digitization projects (use of specialized digitization equipment, web 2.0 features, etc.)
- Digitization and/or microfilm projects in Africa, Asia, the Middle East, or South America
- Digital preservation
- Digitization of museum collections
- Digitization of special formats (videos, newspapers, maps, etc.)
- Microfilm as a component of a digitization project (e.g., as a preservation format)

The next two deadlines for submitting articles are January 25 and April 20.
