You know what really gets me jazzed about digital history collections? It’s the way they bridge the physical and the cyber worlds, the way they focus the Internet’s global spotlight on what is inimitably unique about a particular geographic community. It capitalizes on a library’s holdings that are like nobody else’s. It’s a kind of globalization of information movement without the homogenization.

WebJunction’s focus on digitization projects will help you get started on your own one-of-a-kind collection. We even have an online event this Thursday, March 30th, 9:30 PST/12:30 EST, with the Johnson County Public Library (KS) team led by Web Content Developer Stuart Hinds. With the fresh perspective from his work-in-progress on the JoCoHistory Project, Stuart and his colleagues will give an overview of the process, insights into what works, lessons learned, and answers to your questions in this 90-minute online workshop.
