of stories and voices in your community likely missing from your physical collection. But they are resource-intensive, requiring new skills, technology, and an ongoing commitment to maintain them. Understanding the full lifecycle of digital stewardship is
critical to successfully providing digital collections. In this webinar, practitioners will share how their digital collections have enabled their community members to connect with unique histories and cultures, increase appreciation of local history, and
foster connections across generations. You$B!G(Bll also learn about a new series of free courses developed for small public libraries and tribal archives, libraries, museums.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
