The National Library of Scotland was formally constituted by an Act of Parliament in 1925 and is one of six libraries covered by the UK legal deposit system. The Library is Scotland's national archive for published and other literary heritage materials. One of our primary responsibilities is to safeguard the collections for future generations. Our collections care facility is recognised nationally and internationally as a centre of excellence for the preservation and conservation of library materials. NLS includes "Data Foundry", data collections from the National Library of Scotland.

PARADISEC (the Pacific And Regional Archive for Digital Sources in Endangered Cultures) offers a facility for digital conservation and access to endangered materials from all over the world. Our research group has developed models to ensure that the archive can provide access to interested communities, and conforms with emerging international standards for digital archiving. We have established a framework for accessioning, cataloguing and digitising audio, text and visual material, and preserving digital copies. The primary focus of this initial stage is safe preservation of material that would otherwise be lost, especially field tapes from the 1950s and 1960s.
