Abstract: Digital surrogates provide a non-invasive means to study old manuscript documents that are often too fragile and valuable for wide public access. These surrogates are generated from web-accessible derivatives made from high-resolution archival masters; these masters serve as long-term digital preservation copies. What if there was a file format that combined the functions of digital surrogate, web-accessible derivate, and archival master? This paper considers the notion of the archival file format PDF/A (ISO: 19005-1) as digital archival surrogate or DAS that combines the functions of surrogate, derivative, and master. The paper discusses, furthermore, the versatility of PDF/A in dealing with the complex nature of old manuscripts, and the possible implications of adapting PDF/A as a DAS standard.
