Earlier this spring, WiLS staff Vicki Tobias and Kristen Whitson presented at the Midwest Archives Conference annual conference on the Digital Readiness Community of Practice. Joined by Launch Committee members Robin Untz (Lake Mills Aztalan Historical Society) and Janean Mollett Van Beckum (History Center of Washington County), the group shared the project origins and goals, project resources including the Digital Readiness Levels and their own experiences developing digitization projects.
