[BCMA] Questions About Digitization Strategies and Plans

[Moderated BCMA subscriber listserv]

Hi everyone,

The Golden Museum and Archives has been working on digitizing our archival
collection for public access. After some research and discussions between
the staff and the board, we have decided to explore the idea of creating a
Digitization Strategy that will help us determine strategic goals,
purposes, and procedures for the digitization process.

Currently we are trying to decide whether it this process should be done in
house with the current staff and board of directors, or contract it out to
someone with a little more experience. The Golden Museum only has a single
full-time worker and a single part-time worker, other than summer students,
so time constraints may be an issue to consider.

Has anyone done a Digitization Strategy before that has any tips on where
to begin, or an estimate of how long it may take? Has anyone used a
consultant or contractor for this type of project that they can recommend?

Any information or help would be greatly appreciated.
