Oct. 15, 2016: Sharing Community Images Project
by Michelle Saport |
Sharing Community Images Project Saturday, Oct. 15, 11 a.m.-4 p.m. Archives & Special Collections - UAA/APU Consortium Library, Room 305
Do you have Alaska photos? Do you have photographs of Alaska that you want to have digitized? Are you looking for an opportunity to share those photos with the world? We're looking for you!
As part of our ongoing effort to document the diverse perspectives represented in our community, we invite community members to contribute their own photographs to the Archives. We will have a number of scanning stations set up in the Archives, which Archives staff will use to digitize the photos. We will also be accepting photographs created digitally. The digitized photographs will be made available to the public for research and use through Alaska's Digital Archives, furthering the Archives' primary goal of providing access. The Archives will also keep high-resolution master copies of the images, preserving a small slice of life in Alaska. Participants in the project will receive high-resolution digital copies of their photographs. Full details here: bit.ly/2dlQ2K0.
