Dear Greg,
TODAY is the official launch of our annual Summer Supplies Drive <https://e3swye.fg44.fdske.com/e/c/01kznxte2fdqmtydmfk5pn1x3v/01kznxte2fdqmtydmfk942b34a> , and we need your help to
reach our $10,000 goal!
Every photograph, letter, map, oral history, and artifact in the JCHS collection helps tell the story of this place. Digitization protects those stories for future generations while
making them easier to find and use.
What is digitization? Digitization is the act of creating a digital copy of a physical item. That item might be a historic photograph, a newspaper, a handwritten letter, an oral history
recording, or even a three-dimensional object like a carriage.
Creating the digital copy is only the beginning. With more than 500,000+ items in our collection, digitization is an ongoing effort. Each item must also be identified, described, and
organized so it can be found again by researchers, educators, students, and community members.
Today, thousands of historic archives and artifacts are already available through the JCHS Online Collection. Thousands more are waiting to be preserved and shared.
What will my gift support?
JCHS is currently undertaking a multi-year project to digitize thousands of historic photographs in our collection. About 15,000 images still need to be scanned and cataloged, while
another 30,000 images have already been scanned but need descriptions and metadata before they can be searched online.
In the long term, we focus our efforts where they'll have the greatest impact: historic photographs, newspapers, oral histories, maps, and other collections that are heavily used by
researchers, educators, and the public.
Your support helps provide the specialized supplies, software, and equipment our collections team relies on every day, including: archival storage media, scanners, photography equipment,
preservation software, and secure digital storage.
