Access, discovery, and preservation have historically been concerns for artists’ file collections. To address these issues, the author outlines a systematic digitization plan developed during an internship at the National Gallery of Art Library in Washington, DC, during the summer of 2013. Discovery, execution on limited funds, a realistic workflow, and standards are just a few of the areas any digitization project must consider. This study is an example of how institutions of any size can approach digitization of ephemera and better serve their constituents.
