Abstract
- It can be argued that relatively few countries in the world can match the countries of Scandinavia when it comes to the coverage of audiovisual and multimedia material in their legislation. This paper introduces the legal deposit acts of Denmark, Sweden and Norway, and describes the similarities between them. For each country, it lists the institutions which collect these materials, and the national bibliographies which are produced. Some interesting differences in practice are described, and the challenges of collecting documents from the Internet are explained. The paper concludes by stressing the importance of continuous updating of legislation and practice to keep pace with the preservation of cultural heritage in a rapidly changing society.
