Dear Arlis Members, Solo art museum librarian seeking advice concerning the digitization of a large slide collection that covers the museum's entire programming history from 1967 to today. I do not have a background in library science, but rather a background in anthropology and communications and need help in determining what would be the right pathway for my museum to take concerning the digitization of our slide collection or at least a selection of slides that highlights our collection. My questions are 1. If anyone has gone through this, or is currently going through this, especially museums of a small size (we have a staff of 50), please let me know what process you used, how much it cost, how long it took? 2. Also as far as digitization goes, what would be the best medium for storing images? CD copies, one for use and one strictly to be used as an archival backup? Or storing images on a portable hard drive? DVDs? 3. What grants are available? I am aware of IMLS digitization grants, but was wondering about other digitization grants that may be out there. 4. Since I am not skilled in the art of library science, we may look to hire a librarian or archivist for an extended 1-2year employment. What type of librarian would I be looking for? Thank you for any help you can give on any one of those items as I begin my initial research. Also if you know of any good websites, please direct me to them. Sincerely, Rayna Rokicki Resource Center Coordinator John Michael Kohler Arts Center Sheboygan, Wisconsin __________________________________________________________________ Mail submissions to [log in to unmask] For information about joining ARLIS/NA see: http://www.arlisna.org//membership.html Send administrative matters (file requests, subscription requests, etc) to [log in to unmask] ARLIS-L Archives and subscription maintenance: http://lsv.uky.edu/archives/arlis-l.html Questions may be addressed to list owner (Kerri Scannell) at: [log in to unmask]
