<p class="MsoNormal">Hi everyone,<o:p></o:p></p>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">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.<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">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. <o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">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?<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">Any information or help would be greatly appreciated.<br>
