[Mdl] Minnesota Digital Library ­ Looking for projects

[Marian Rengel]

Round 3 begins today!
Help us add collections to Minnesota Reflections

The Minnesota Digital Library will accept applications for digitization
projects until March 28, 2008. You may submit your applications anytime
before then. Projects are to digitize original photos, negatives, artwork,
letters, journals, documents and maps.

We spend our grant dollars to do the digitization work. Contributing
organizations choose the projects and complete applications. Once our
digitization work is complete, the contributors then fill in an Excel
spreadsheet with information on each item (metadata work).

Any organization that holds historic objects and is interested in doing a
project should contact Marian Rengel, Minnesota Digital Library outreach
coordinator, very soon to talk over the details. (mrrengel at stcloudstate.edu;
320-308-5625)

In Rounds 1 and 2, conducted since August, the MDL committed to digitizing
1690 photos, 18770 document pages, and 1009 maps. These projects, along with
transcriptions for many of the documents, will spend 80 percent of our grant
dollars. We still have ample funding for large and small projects.

Our call for project proposals, which describes what we are looking for this
year and which contains the application, is available at

Please spread the word and encourage organizations to contribute.

Thanks so much
