Panelists:
American Numismatic Association Library (Colorado)
The American Numismatic Association Library has been working to catalog their archives and digitize and publish portions of the archive collection online. At this time, they have fully digitized five collections, both with staff/volunteers in-house and outsourced workers. In this presentation, Akio will discuss what archives were prioritized, the process used to scan the documents, the learning curve in the processing and cataloging of the items, and their long term goals.
MOS Family Archive / Maria Shriver's Archive (California)
In 2024, one of the digitization projects Diamond is responsible for is the photograph collection from when Maria Shriver was First Lady of California [2003-2010]. As a solo archivist, Diamond will go over organizational considerations, strategy for maximizing archival use (including relevant businesses, nonprofits, & political initiatives). She will also go over how the final digitized collection could be shared.
