Title:"Creating an Online Local Newspaper Archive"
Presenters: Barb Hauck-Mah, Reference Librarian, Rockaway Township Library.
Abstract: Rockaway Township Library converted its local historical newspaper collection from microfilm to digitized searchable pdfs. In partnership with The Historical Society of the Rockaway’s, RT Library established free 24/7 online access to the digital archive through the library's website. We will share lessons learned, year one results and demonstrate how to use the archive. Project details are available at http://www.rtlibrary.org/ironera.pdf .
