Welcome to the Digital Print Preservation Portal, a part of the DP3 Project. This website is a result of research into the long-term care of digitally printed materials being performed by the Image Permanence Institute with the help from grants provided by The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation and the Institute of Museum and Library Services.
The site is currently under development, but it will eventually contain information and tools to aid conservators, curators, archivists, and librarians in identifying digital prints as well as understanding their chemical and physical nature. In addition, it will provide recommendations for the storage, display, and handling of these materials, as well as guidance in assessing the risk of damage during flood.
The Image Permanence Institute, part of RIT’s College of Imaging Arts and Sciences, is a university based, non-profit research laboratory devoted to scientific research in the preservation of visual and other forms of recorded information. It is the world’s largest independent laboratory with this specific scope.
