This article will explore how partnerships between publishers and archives can help the latter face the challenges of getting content digitized. It will take a look behind the scenes of the longstanding partnership between Adam Matthew (AM; a specialist publisher of digital primary source collections), and The National Archives at Kew (TNA; the UK government's official archive). It will explore how this kind of relationship develops; how the production process works, and how products are brought through to market. |
