Description
The emergence of a wide variety of digitization technologies and access platforms have created new opportunities for fast, low-cost newspaper digitization--and new risks for long-term preservation and intellectual access to those papers. This session will describe the Minnesota Digital Newspaper Hub, the Minnesota Historical Society's long-range vision for aggregating, preserving, and providing access to Minnesota's digitized and born-digital newspapers. We will also discuss approaches to digitizing and preserving your own community's newspapers.
