Thanks to a grant from the National Archives, Recollection Wisconsin is und
ertaking a community-driven strategic planning process to build “digital
readiness” in local historical societies and historic preservation groups
. From July-December 2019, Recollection Wisconsin will partner with WiLS an
d the Wisconsin Historical Society to conduct a survey of the Society’s l
ocal affiliates and facilitate community conversations and strategic planni
ng sessions. Our goal is to develop a plan for a Digital Readiness Communit
y of Practice that will increase affiliates’ capacity to create, manage a
nd share digitized historical resources.
