Libraries have long collected and preserved unique local history collections that tell stories about the places we live and work. But how do we start to bring these valuable collections into the 21st century? This course will provide an overview of basic considerations
for starting a digital collections project, with a special focus on small or under-resourced institutions. Topics include project preparation and readiness, defining scope, assessment and selection, basic digitization, metadata standards and requirements,
rights statements, providing access, digital preservation, and using digital collections in organizational advocacy.<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span><br>
