Dear MCG'ers,
I had the opportunity of spending a couple of days in Washington last
week working with the Smithsonian on their Digitization Programme. It is
an amazing project, encompassing the digitisation of nearly 14m objects
and 60,000 cubic metres of archival material.
I have blogged my experiences of working with the Digitization Team over
there at
http://www.collectionslink.org.uk/blog/1461-in-the-loop-2-days-with-the-
smithsonian-digitzation-programme.
I have tried to include links to as many of their policy documents and
projects as possible, but do please let me know if you'd like any
further information on any aspect of the programme.
With best regards,
Nick
