Please help us plan for future programs and resources for this community of
local historians and preservationists!
Do you work with a local historical society, historic preservation group, o
r other organization affiliated with the Wisconsin Historical Society? Help
us assess and plan for digital readiness in Wisconsin, and develop a plan
for a Digital Readiness Community of Practice<https://recollectionwisconsin
.org/cop> that will increase your capacity to create, manage and share digi
tized historical resources.
Please take our Digital Readiness Survey<https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/Dig
italReadinessWisconsin>! We value input. The survey will take approximately
20 minutes to complete. Coordinate with others at your organization to ens
ure only one response is submitted on behalf of your group. The survey will
be open through August 31, 2019.
