Building Digital Community: Arizona Memory Project
Originally presented February 9, 2010 as part of Technology Essentials 2010
Libraries have long served as digital repositories but the Internet has provided an opportunity to reach further out into our communities through shared histories, images, and archives. Since 2005, the Arizona Memory Project has partnered with numerous institutions offering a platform for digital exhibits using CONTENTdm, a digital collection management software, to extend access to collections. Come hear about the project’s creation, outreach, management and training and learn how you and your library can sustain digital memories in your community.
