LEARN WHAT IT TAKES
How to make a successful newspaper digitization project happen

Two years ago, Anne Wootton of Brown University called ten other student newspaper editors in an effort to learn about their experiences digitizing their archives. Their response?

“Call me back when you’ve learned something – I’d love to know what you find out!”

Well, in these last two years we’ve all learned a lot – now DDD is hosting a panel discussion of experts in a free online webinar to share that knowledge with you.
