Born fi dead? Special collections and born digital heritage, Jamaica

---

Cultural heritage print items in special collections hold distinct positions in libraries. Yet their potential for
pedagogy and learning may often be under-explored due to issues related to preservation management.
These challenges underpin their exclusivity, a perception which may impact donor relations and
unconsciously impede research access. Conversely, electronic publishing has enhanced access to born
digital cultural heritage products of scholars and creative expressionists. Without the hassle of
intermediaries, these born digital producers represent a ‘‘new world order’’ for libraries charged with dual
responsibility for access and posterity. Some challenges are infrastructural, such as Internet penetration,
others are human related arising from the need for capacity building in areas such as publishing and
effective preservation strategies. These skills are essential to fully conceptualize potential for loss of cultural
heritage products and the need for viable mechanisms to manage content; anything less would suggest
cultural heritage products are literally ‘‘born fi dead’’.
