“Delivering digital images: cultural heritage resources for education” by Patricia McClung and Christie Stephenson. The book was originally published in the year 1998. The book focuses on the importance of digitizing images that reflect cultural heritage in order to preserve as much as possible from cultural days and events of significance. The purpose of the novel is to inform readers on the correct way to preserve moments of cultural history with respect and efficiency. This is a very important aspect in terms of digitization because many moments of historical importance are lost and forgotten, but carry years of history and valuable information. The preservation of these moments and their availability to the public has always been an issue in question and the respect of cultures is often disregarded when archiving such important images in history. This would be an extremely important addition to the archiving website because it is important to keep in mind different cultures and heritages when digitizing their information in a respectful manner. There have been many instances in which historical moments of inidgenious history have been digitized in a disrespectful manner and available to many readers who are not using the images for their intended use. This book highlights this issue amongst many others in order to ensure the utmost respect and correctness when uploading digitized photos that reflect different cultural moments in history.
