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.
