The study gives an introduction to the fundamental principles involved in the digitization process and outlines some key concepts such as, defining digitization, examining pathways, introducing the notion of 'fit for purpose', and assessing archival concerns and dissemination compression techniques. The paper also discusses characteristics and issues on preservation challenges. Although there are drastic changes in digital technology, finance, staff training, manpower, infrastructure etc are serious problems to be tackled before an attempt for digitization.
