Galesville Public Library held its first "Scan Day" last Saturday (January 29, 2011)
The staff of the Galesville Public Library celebrated the 100 year anniversary of the library by holding a "Scan Day". Patrons were encouraged to bring photographs, documents and artifacts to the library on a cold Wisconsin day so they could be digitized. The ResCarta Foundation assisted the staff in preparing scans and building a website with the materials.
The library director sent us this note on Monday. "This is all just wonderful. We have received so many positive comments already."
"Just goes to show ya", creating digital collections can be fun. |

ResCarta to CONTENTdm....No Problem! |
|
Recently, Birmingham Botanical Gardens, Alabama's largest living museum had their scrapbooks professionally scanned. The idea was to host them at the gardens and share them by adding the content to the Alabama State collections. That meant getting the data in a standard archive format then getting the data into a CONTENTdm server at Auburn University.
The staff at the ResCarta Foundation assisted by converting their ResCarta formatted data to a CONTENTdm import format which made the addition to the Alabama State collections a breeze.
If your organization is struggling to keep your digital materials in a standard format and also use CONTENTdm for web display, contact the ResCarta Foundation to learn how to do both without losing sleep over it. |

ResCarta staff spent a day with staff and friends of the Independence Public Library (Independence, WI) and in a few short hours the Independence Archives were started.
The library director started the scanning and metadata creation task and placed the first of many historic photographs on the library website. "Wow! This is great and to think we can do this..."
The ResCarta Foundation is happy to assist in the building of the National Digital Public Library, one library at a time. |
