Are you thinking of digitizing your local history collection? Not sure where to start? Join Loren Fantin and Jess Posgate of OurDigitalWorld to talk about approaching digitization projects of all sizes. Learn more about engaging your community by inviting users to contribute, volunteer, comment and share your history online effectively and for long-term discovery.
Every collection is unique, whether it’s photos, town records, oral histories or local newspapers, but digitization projects follow similar patterns, requirements and challenges. Let’s take the mystery out of digitization so you can share your community history with the world!

| -What is a webinar?
A webinar is a training session done entirely online. Participants are sent a web link in order to join the webinar, which lets them watch the presentation while listening to the speaker. There is no need to travel – you can join a webinar from the comfort of your own home!
-What kind of computer is needed to participate?
Most modern computers are equipped with the necessary components to participate in our webinars – you can join from your desktop computer, laptop, tablet or mobile device! In general, you need to have speakers and a moderately fast internet connection. You do not need a microphone to participate, as you’ll just be listening in rather than speaking!
