Paul McCartney to digitize his extensive library

HP and McCartney Productions Limited (MPL) have today announced an agreement to digitize and deliver the library of musician Paul McCartney via a private cloud. McCartney has one of the most comprehensive libraries of any musician, much of which has never been viewed before. His library includes images, artwork, paintings, film and videos, as well as masters of some of the most popular songs ever written.
He has accumulated many iconic images, including the cover artwork for the album, ‘Band on the Run’.
Under the agreement, HP will work with MPL to digitize the material and design and build a content management system. McCartney’s library will then be delivered through a private cloud environment. Portions of the library will be made available to fans so they can have a glimpse into McCartney’s work.
“I’ve always been interested in creative ideas and new ways of reaching people,” said McCartney. “I hope it will allow people who might be interested to access parts of our archives they might otherwise not be able to.”
This is the first time HP has worked with an artist in this way. The digitization of McCartney’s library will also preserve the history of McCartney’s work for future generations.
