Empowering Culture and Education Through Digital Content Creation, Preservation, and Dissemination

Digital content can bring many advantages to a sustainable world, such as higher accessibility, flexibility, reduction in natural resource consumption, or storage issues. Probably one of the biggest advantages is related to the possibility of preserving any type of document without the use of typography machines, as digital content does not suffer from deterioration. This approach can prove to be extremely useful in the case of important documents for human culture and history. Our paper presents some of the most successful cases of digitization of physical papers, including books, newspapers, and old manuscripts. The analysis of international models of digital libraries is followed by a case study of digitization in Romania, with an analysis of their future perspectives on sustainability.
