Digital Readiness Fairs

“The fairs are great ways to make resources and information accessible to anyone who wants to learn.”

Digital Readiness Fair participant

Our sincere thanks to all the local history practitioners and invited guest experts who participated in our Digital Readiness Fairs in summer 2021. Participants shared their experiences working with digital projects including their challenges and successes, best practices, and lessons learned along the way. We loved showcasing digitization projects from around the state and watching folks build their own “community of practice” with others engaged in digital projects.
