This package is ideal for Junior Leagues that are responsible for a large collection of archival materials and seek a professional assessment of the holdings. The goal of this package is to have professionals manage and create a comprehensive digital archive of all or most of a Leagues’s history. HistoryIT sends an expert to conduct an onsite assessment and meeting with stakeholders; and produces a digital museum, including an online timeline, biography portal and storytelling platform, to manage and share the newly digital historical materials. Digital preservation includes up to 5,000 archival assets*. If the size of your collection exceeds this number, HistoryIT will create a customized plan to add the remaining materials in discrete phases. It requires that your League have at least one point person who is willing to answer questions, as well as organize an on site assessment and meeting with interested parties.
