Abstract
The digitization opens new prospects for traditional archives (paper, parchment, etc). It brings solutions for the problems of accessibility and conservation of the fragile and precious historical documents. It makes it possible to communicate at a distance their electronic networked reproductions. Indeed, the use of this technique in the Archives raises a certain number of questions such as the selection criteria of the documents to be digitized and the characteristics of the digitized documents (resolution, digital imagery type, images formats, etc). Such analysis helps the responsible of Archives to make suitable decisions throughout the project and to work according to the priorities and particular conditions of Archives. The National Archives of Egypt are developing an ambitious project to computerize their activities. In this research, we propose a framework of a relevant digitization strategy for the objectives and the needs of Archives and their users.
