About this episode

A general information session about the digitization services Wisconsin Heritage Online may be able to provide you as you plan a digitization project. Wisconsin Heritage Online (www.wisconsinheritage.org) is a centralized online resource that provides access to research treasures from diverse cultural institutions throughout the state. Users can browse and search the website to discover Wisconsin's rich heritage through photographs, artifacts, diaries, books, audio files, and much more. As WHO continues to grow and expand, a primary goal is to help libraries, local historical societies and museums join the digital movement by building sustainable online collections.WHO members receive training for all steps of the digitization process, from content selection to reformatting procedures to digital preservation. Thanks to a recent grant from the Nicholas Family Foundation, many of WHO's services are currently provided free of charge; however, a pre-evaluation and a small annual membership fee are required. Emily Pfotenhauer will make a one hour presentation about Wisconsin Heritage Online and what the advantages to you might be in having your digital project hosted by Wisconsin Heritage Online. Following the presentation, Emily will be available to meet with those of you who are intrigued by the digital process and feel you are ready to begin planning.
