The recipients of Atla’s 2024 round of digitization grant funding will share their experiences digitizing and describing items from their special collections and archives. Attendees will not only learn more about these new digital collections that are newly available for research, teaching, and other uses but also hear about the successes and lessons learned through their projects. An overview of the Atla Digitization Grant program, which will open up again in the fall of 2025 for applications, will also be presented.
There will be time for questions about the grant program and how it supports the digitization efforts of Atla members as well as opportunities for conversation with grantees about their approaches to digitization projects.
