Abstract

With the completion of a large-scale project comes the inevitable question: what have we learned and how can we apply it in the future? This article reviews the lessons learned from the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) Information Services Office’s (ISO) project to digitise and preserve its collection of grey literature published by NIST and its predecessor, the National Bureau of Standards. This legacy digitisation project supported ISO’s mission to create, maintain and disseminate a knowledge base that supports NIST’s scientific, engineering and technical research. The article examines the project over its seven-year duration, its goals and lessons learned, and the path it has laid for digitisation and preservation of NIST publications in the future.
