Community history and local collections are valuable resources for students, genealogists, and researchers. Libraries often serve as stewards of these materials, but making them digitally accessible can feel complex or overwhelming.

This session from OurDigitalWorld will provide practical guidance for planning and managing digitization projects in library and archival settings.

Participants will learn:

  • How to identify clear starting points for digitization projects
  • Practical project management techniques tailored to libraries and archives
  • Ways to minimize common challenges during digitization initiatives
  • How to structure realistic workflows for unique collection types (photographs, records, oral histories, newspapers, etc.)
  • Strategies for creating accessible, sustainable collections for long-term online discovery

The seminar is designed for staff at all experience levels who are involved in planning, coordinating, or supporting digitization efforts.

A recording will be available to registrants.
