Abstract: Digitisation standards are an essential part of digital content production for libraries, archives and museums to ensure quality and accurate digital reproductions. Viewing environments, whether high-definition televisions, wide-gamut computer displays or mobile devices, play a central role in the user’s experience with digital collections. Digitisation standards and viewing environments have a shared history, along with photographic and digital capture technology. This paper examines the historical and current connections between digitisation standards and advances in viewing and digital capture technologies, and it suggests that although closely related, the impact of these technologies on digitisation standards has generally waned since the late 1990s and early 2000s.
