Recollection Wisconsin's new Digital Readiness Toolkit
<https://recollectionwisconsin.org/digital-readiness-toolkit> is now
available! This revised and expanded set of tools, guidelines, examples,
templates, and other resources is a complete guide to creating and tending
a digital collection. The Toolkit was developed specifically to meet the
needs of small cultural heritage organizations and is freely available for
anyone to use. Every stage of the Toolkit's development, from planning to
design to review to testing, was driven by community input. Many thanks to
everyone who contributed to this process, including beta testers at
Carthage College, the Judge Eghart House (Port Washington), The Highground
Veterans Memorial Park (Neillsville), and the Sister Bay Liberty Grove Fire
Department Oral History Project.
This work was supported in part by grants to WiLS, in partnership with
Recollection Wisconsin and the Wisconsin Historical Society, from the
National Historical Publications and Records Commission (NHPRC).
The entire toolkit in PDF format is attached to this message, or visit the
web version at the link above. We'd love to hear from the local history
community about how this Toolkit works for you, and what else you'd like to
see in future editions!
