In November 2021, Kristen Whitson (Recollection Wisconsin), Steven Rice (Door County Historical Museum) and Beth Renstrom (Sturgeon Bay Historical Society) presented at the Wisconsin Library Association conference.
Session Description:
“Recollection Wisconsin resources can prepare your library to respond to the digital heritage needs of your community. Join us to hear about Recollection Wisconsin’s NHPRC-funded Digital Readiness Community of Practice and how digital readiness applies to your organization. Then learn about how Door County Speaks, a real-life example of digital readiness concepts, responded to the community’s needs to provide oral history kits for collecting community memories, and how the oral history kits have been used in the Door County Granary project. Participants will gain a clear understanding of how to implement digital projects resources in their own organizations.”
Building a Community of Practice for Digital Readiness in Wisconsin is supported by an Archives Collaboratives Implementation Grant from the National Historical Publications and Records Commission (NHPRC), the granting arm of the National Archives. Read the full implementation grant narrative submitted to NHPRC.
