In this article, the authors present, on the basis of the scientific arguments obtained through laboratory experiments, some pertinent aspects regarding: the evaluation and preservation of the digitized collections; presentation of conditions for the digitization of valuable library documents; presentation of ante- and post-digitization measures for library collections that are subject to digitization. This scientific approach is designed to preserve digitized libraries, collections and documents, being an essential scientific activity that takes place in parallel with the conservation of information from digitized products.
