The greatness of a people is shown in their lives, stories, belongings, and places. Their shadows can be glimpsed in a digital archive. Here are free tools for building digital archives.
This page is a work in process. As information and resources are developed or sourced they will be added or linked here.
Tools
The right tools make possible the success of any building project. You will need to choose what you need wisely with an understanding of your own goals and situation. Here is a list of implements to be considered when building a toolbox for a successful digital archive.
Why a digital archive?
Not only can your collection hold stories of people, places and times it can serve as a way to communicate over time, space and culture. Your archive is your story and you will decide its use. The Lakeland Digital Archive has been used for many purposes including civic action, artistic expression, story telling, exhibition and more. A few of those projects are featured on this page.
