Date: Tue, 25 Sep 2001 19:59:59 -0600
The Colorado Digitization Project has made available through it's
website Heritage--the gateway to Colorado's Digitization Projects
http://coloradodigital.coalliance.org.
Heritage is a Dublin Core based database that provides access to the
websites and digital objects created by Colorado's archives,
historical societies, libraries and museums. The database operates
on the OCLC SiteSearch software. CDP Project participants can
create records online using the DC Builder software developed by the
CDP or by sending files from local library systems, local museum
databases, etc.
The CDP developed crosswalks to support the merging of the metadata
into a single database. Links connect with the images that are
managed by each project.
In addition to being able to access the collections through
heritage, the Heritage database is also accessible via the Colorado
Virtual Library http://www.aclin.org. Under the create your own
group, the Heritage database is offered as one of the options. It
is also available under the section Digital Collections.
We welcome comments and questions regarding Heritage, DC Builder and
how we put it all together.
