The ultimate objective of every digitization project of archival holdings is to create digital master document - copy that would facilitate searching through archival holdings and eliminate potential damage risks during consulting original documents in archives’ reading rooms as well as during handling and using originals while preparing publications and exhibitions of archival documents kept in archival institutions. Therefore the creation of a digital master document implies previous defining of adequate quality parameters and later verifying, by means of careful and rigorous control, whether defined quality has been achieved. The paper deals with digital document quality control as an important element in the chain of creating, managing and long term preservation of e-documents created by digitization, stating that the only worth keeping digital master documents are those that passed through thorough quality control.
