title: First steps towards a BnF preservation policy for graphic works intended for printing
creators: Alix Bruys
abstract: With an exemplary donation, the Bibliothèque nationale de France is refining its preservation policy in the field of graphic works intended for printing. The donation consists of posters produced by graphic designer Sébastien Marchal, accompanied by preparatory stages (sketches) and final versions for printing entirely dematerialized. The article will show how the preservation policy is developed, based on close collaboration with the donor and those involved in documentary policy at BnF. It will also outline the strategies deployed to meet the immediate expectations of researchers with technically non managed data.
