W8 - Digital Imaging 101
9:00 a.m. - 12:00 p.m.
This introductory workshop focuses on the use of open source and free software to create, validate, index, search, display, and maintain a digital archive of various materials, including photographs, full-text- searchable oral histories and books. Learn how to take simple digital files and turn them into a knowledgebase of standardized archival dig- ital objects, complete with Library of Congress standardized metadata. Build a collection, host it on a website. Make your full-text-searchable oral histories to FADGI guidelines. Capture audio files with Audacity, use digital cameras and scanners to create full-text-searchable archives with WatchOCR and ResCarta software. Take the free and open source tools and knowledge from this workshop home with you to create a growing and sustainable archive.
