25-06-2025, Granada, Spain: Presentation Metamorfoze version 2.0 on the Archiving 2025 conference.

This year version 2.0 of the Metamorfoze Preservation Imaging Guidelines was published. Version 1.0 was published in 2012. The Metamorfoze guidelines are published by the KB, the national library of the Netherlands.

Metamorfoze Version 2.0 is a technical and practical update of Version 1.0. This applies to the quality levels Metamorfoze Full & Metamorfoze Light. The quality level Metamorfoze Extra Light has been completely rewritten for mass digitization with sheetfed scanners.

With the technical update Metamorfoze Version 2.0 is in line with ISO 19264-1. With the practical update it is possible to use a broad range of technical targets.

The basic principle of the Metamorfoze guidelines: What you see is what you get, applies to all three quality levels of the Metamorfoze Preservation Imaging Guidelines.
