I order to facilitate the structurig ad the maagemet of the digitisatio activity ad to facilitate digital resource discovery, atioal ivetories of digitisatio projects ad digitised collectios have bee set up i various coutries. They describe istitutios which lead such projects, projects, digital collectios created ad services ad products made to access digitised cotet. Such strategic tools help idetifyig what is goig o with digitisatio ad which are the results of policies implemeted, they allow to measure the outcomes of the framework ad possibly set priorities for future programmes. Mierva agreemets for ivetories of digitised cotet 1. Respect of the data model of digital cotet creatio. 2.
