This is a reminder that there is still time to register for the
Wisconsin Heritage Online general information session, "WHO and You,"
September 9, 2-4 PM. The session will cover digitization services
Wisconsin Heritage Online may be able to provide you as you plan a
digitization project.
Registration link: http://www.wils.wisc.edu/who.html
Wisconsin Heritage Online (www.wisconsinheritage.org) is a centralized
online resource that provides access to research treasures from diverse
cultural institutions throughout the state. Users can browse and search
the website to discover Wisconsin's rich heritage through photographs,
artifacts, diaries, books, audio files, and much more. As WHO continues
to grow and expand, a primary goal is to help libraries, local
historical societies and museums join the digital movement by building
sustainable online collections.
WHO members receive training for all steps of the digitization process,
from content selection to reformatting procedures to digital
preservation. Thanks to a recent grant from the Nicholas Family
Foundation, many of WHO's services are currently provided free of
charge; however, a pre-evaluation and a small annual membership fee are
required.
Emily Pfotenhauer will make a one hour presentation about Wisconsin
Heritage Online and what the advantages to you might be in having your
digital project hosted by Wisconsin Heritage Online. Following the
presentation, Emily will be available to meet with those of you who are
intrigued by the digital process and feel you are ready to begin planning.
