RE: 2005/06 Local History Digital Resources Targeted Program
 
I'm pleased to announce the opening of the application cycle for the
2005/06 Local History Digital Resources Program.
Libraries in California collect a wide range of materials concerning the
local history of their communities. Many of these items are historic
photographs that illustrate the diverse nature of their citizenry and
record many of the tremendous changes that have taken place in their
community. The program seeks to address the need for more libraries to
be conversant with the process of digitization of historical materials
and at the same time creates additional resources that will be available
statewide.
 
The program follows a "solution in a box" structure for libraries. The
package includes training, image processing services, metadata creation
tools, preservation services, customizable Web pages and a small grant
award for collection development and other purchases related to the
program. Participants will be expected to partner with the University
of California's California Digital Library (CDL) (http://www.cdlib.org/)
for preservation and access services to digital object collections and
associated descriptions created through LSTA funding. Attendance at
certain training events will be mandatory. Local community involvement
in project development and implementation will be expected.
 
Information and application forms for the 2005/06 Local History Digital
Resources Program are available on our web site at:

If you have any questions regarding the program changes, or about the
new application packet, please contact Ira Bray, Library Programs
Consultant at (916) 653-0171 or by e-mail at ibray@library.ca.gov
