Summary/Abstract: In this article, the authors present the results obtained by specialized expertise, on the basis of the scientific arguments resulting from the examination of the documents, as well as of the pre-digitization interventions for the preservation of the special collections from the Library of “Ştefan cel Mare” National College, Suceava, in order to digitize them. The authors consider that this scientific approach is necessary for the development of the practical concept of pre-digitization as a working tool for the digitisable documents in the special collections belonging to the Library of “Ştefan cel Mare” National College, Suceava, for their introduction in the cultural and scientific flow. In the literature on the protection of documents, pre-digitization represents the set of investigations and preventive-curative interventions performed in library environments, especially in the morphological structure of documents, in order to investigate, stop and eradicate the complex of identified degradation factors, of physical, mechanical, chemical and biological etiology. In the case of the Library of “Ştefan cel Mare” National College, Suceava, pre-digitization is the essential stage of preparation of the documents, in order to carry out digitization operations under appropriate conditions.
