Humanists may not know about the excellent collection of resource links
provided by the Getty Information Institute, "Digital Preservation
Resources", <http://www.gii.getty.edu/timeandbits/links.html>. The list is
kept under the rubric "Time and Bits: Managing Digital Continuity", the
record of a meeting held at the Getty Center on Feb 8-10, which "produced
some remarkable insights into the future uses of digital technologies and
their impact on the documentation of cultural heritage". See

under the following headings:
I. Digital Clearinghouses, Resources and Bibliographies
