Is your organization interested in providing web access to images of historic items from your collections? The Hudson River Valley Heritage (www.hrvh.org) service, administered by SENYLRC, is a digital repository designed for contributions from multiple organizations. The first step to contributing images to HRVH is to learn about the various aspects of digitization.

SENYLRC is offering a four-day workshop series on digitization for staff at libraries, archives, art organizations, and historical societies. These workshops are for people ready to be trained in the five basic areas of digitization necessary to contribute digital objects to www.hrvh.org :  management, copyright, digital imaging, metadata and CONTENTdm (software application). The goal is to develop staff with expertise to create and maintain digital collections, on their own, with the assistance of SENYLRC staff.

Organizations that currently contribute to HRVH are encouraged to send new staff members to the training or attend again if they need a refresher on any of the topics covered in the workshops.
