Participants will learn:

  • How to identify clear starting points for digitization projects
  • Practical project management techniques tailored to libraries and archives
  • Ways to minimize common challenges during digitization initiatives
  • How to structure realistic workflows for unique collection types (photographs, records, oral histories, newspapers, etc.)

The seminar is designed for staff at all experience levels who are involved in planning, coordinating, or supporting digitization efforts.

A recording will be available to registrants.
