In recent years, public libraries have accelerated their efforts toward digital archiving as they diversify their services. It is common for public libraries to digitize materials in their collections that have already been systematically organized. The Shizuoka Prefectural Central Library, to which the author belongs, first made its digitized materials available on its website in 1998, and began offering a full-fledged digital archive in 2010. The author will review the transition of the digital archive and report on a case study. Based on the case study, the author will discuss digital archiving in public libraries, and analyze the current status and issues from both service and system perspectives.
