Abstract

The transformation from conventional archival practices to the digitization of documentary heritage collections represents a pivotal undertaking in the safeguarding and facilitation of access to historical and cultural materials in the digital era. Digitization helps preserve precious materials, making high-quality digital images available electronically. In the context of this paper, manuscripts are categorized as valuable assets and historical documentary heritage and will be discussed in detail.  The underpinning of this thematic review paper is to identify the issues that have been discussed in the digitization of documentary heritage publications from the years 2010-2021 using ATLAS.ti 8. A keyword search, followed by a filter using inclusion criteria from SCOPUS, Web of Science and Mendeley databases, identified 424 peer-reviewed journal articles and, after the inclusion and exclusion process, only 28 articles were used as the final articles to be reviewed. Findings show four distinct categories: collaboration and participation; disaster preparedness; crowdsourcing; and cultural heritage information system.
