 Preserving the literary, musical and scientific heritage of the past centuries has always been at the core of national, regional and academic libraries’ missions. Today’s writers, composers and scientists are no longer using the pen, but the computer to compose their work, challenging libraries to develop the appropriate strategy in order to preserve the digital manuscripts and all other kinds of documents related to the act of creation, from the basic text file until the e-mails and even the text messages sent and received by the author. Preserving the literary, musical and scientific heritage of the past centuries has always been at the core of national, regional and academic libraries’ missions.

We invite contributions from libraries that are exploring operational solutions to address the management of digital estates, including the handling of all documents created by a person through her/his professional activity.  
-Among the questions which we thin are being address in libraries across Europe: should the traditional “manuscript department” now also be in charge of managing the “digital manuscripts”, or should a new service be formed specifically and where would it located within the institution’s organisation? What kind of competences are required and how is the competent staff trained or recruited? Are the catalogues the same for analogue and digital manuscripts and archives? Are specific bibliographical formats or metadata required? Are the tools used to manage the files the same that those which are used for the digital library or the institutional repository? What specific challenges represent e-mails, text messages, or other social contents? Do easy-to-use technical solutions exist that could be shared among libraries? Does literary creation present the same issues as scientific or musical creation? How are copyright challenges addressed?+Among the questions which are being address in libraries across Europe: should the traditional “manuscript department” now also be in charge of managing the “digital manuscripts”, or should a new service be formed specifically and where would it located within the institution’s organisation?

 +Summary:\\ 
 +Academic and research library with the largest printed collections in France, the National & University Library (BNU) in Strasbourg is also one of the main heritage library in the country, with the mission of preserving the regional documentary heritage of Alsace. In parallel, a closer relationship to the University of Strasbourg and a new national strategy for collections of scientific significance, in which the BNU plays a leading and coordinating role, challenge the preservation mission to be again at the forefront of the institution's development strategy. Digital estates in this regard represent a new type of documents for which adequate and sustainable solutions need to be found, probably on a collaborative way.  
 +This presentation of a local example is meant to be a short introduction to the theme of the workshop, not exposing answers but some of the different challenges that lie ahead heritage academic libraries today.

 +Summary:\\
 Research libraries have become industry leaders in the development of digital infrastructures on a national scale. Time and again they have demonstrated their unique ability to respond to creative challenges across a broad range of digital projects and services, leading in both strategy and implementation. By developing visionary digital ecosystems, emphasizing sustainable outcomes, and leveraging their expertise with complex knowledge infrastructures and large-scale project management, research libraries will continue to play a central role in the emergence of national digital research capacity. This presentation will introduce participants to the fundamentals of managing digital assets, with particular emphasis on research data objects. It will provide a short introduction to the complex “world of data” that is produced routinely at their research institutions. Budroni will also provide insight into the core components of research data and digital objects.
