Welcome to the home of the Image Permanence Institute DP3 Project, a research and development project which will provide libraries, archives, and individual scholars with information regarding the permanence and care of prints created using modern digital output technologies.

As the project progresses over the next three years, additions will be made to this site. Ultimately, it will contain information and tools to aid in the identification of digital prints and in understanding their chemical and physical nature. It will also offer scientifically sound recommendations for storage, display, and handling, and will guide users in assessing the risk of damage to these materials in the event of flood so that they might revise their institutional disaster response plans.
