The Wild West No More: Preserving 40 Years Of Electronic Records At The University Of Wyoming American Heritage Center, Tyler G. Cline May 2016

The Wild West No More: Preserving 40 Years Of Electronic Records At The University Of Wyoming American Heritage Center, Tyler G. Cline

Journal of Contemporary Archival Studies

The University of Wyoming American Heritage Center (AHC) provides access to all unrestricted collections, per its Mission Statement. However, over the past 40 years, the AHC has acquired born-digital collection material on physical media that it has been unable to provide access to. In the summer of 2014, the AHC undertook a project to migrate all born-digital records to a secure server, thereby creating the means to provide access to the material.

Our Rich History: Covington Ladies Home Celebrating 130th Year, Serving Senior Women With Quality Care, Bill Stolz

University Libraries' Staff Publications

2016 marks the 130th year of operation for the Covington Ladies Home located at 702 Garrard Street in the Licking Riverside Historic District. The organization, originally called the Home for Aged and Indigent Women (still visible in the stone above the main entrance today), was founded in 1886 by Covington resident Ellen B.

Today, 130 years later, the mission of the Covington Ladies Home is the same, “to serve senior women, regardless of their economic circumstances, by …

Struggle For Survival: The History And Ethics Of Living Collections, Emily Simms May 2016

Struggle For Survival: The History And Ethics Of Living Collections, Emily Simms

Museum Studies Theses

This thesis explores the ethics involved with institutions caring for living collections worldwide such as zoos, national parks, and aquariums. There are several main concerns that these institutions are currently facing: poaching, keeper negligence, euthanasia within zoos themselves, and public opinion. The moral issues engrained can help guide keepers of these collections to take better care of the animals for which they are responsible. It also explores specific cases in the past in which living collections have managed serious issues and how they resolved these issues.

Archival Processing Science, Stefanie A. Caloia Apr 2016

Archival Processing Science, Stefanie A. Caloia

Reuther Library Scholarly Publications

Archival collections come in all sizes, formats, and subjects, and it is impossible for any archival education program to cover all situations that professional archivists encounter. Proper planning is essential to processing and paramount when a collection comprises hundreds of linear feet, yet it is often difficult to develop and implement processing plans when drawing on your experience alone. This presentation details a method of conducting a pre-archival processing survey that can be useful through all processing stages, as well as some additional tips on handling archival materials.

Creating Open Access To Institutional Scholarship Using Digital Commons, Deborah L. White, Yumi Ohira

Criss Library Faculty Proceedings & Presentations

Has your institution mandated an Institutional Repository for open access? Do you feel intimidated by working with two digital repositories simultaneously?

How To Create An Oral History Program, Devin Mckinney

This workshop will give you the skills and the confidence to start an oral history program at your own institution.

Shall We Dance? The Re-Housing And Digitization Of Gettysburg College Dance Cards, Avery N. Fox, Alexa R. Schreier Apr 2016

Shall We Dance? The Re-Housing And Digitization Of Gettysburg College Dance Cards, Avery N. Fox, Alexa R. Schreier

All Musselman Library Staff Works

The Gettysburg College Dance Card Collection contains over 100 dance cards from multiple accessions and of differing sizes and materials. The collection was previously kept in small, crammed boxes; its re-housing and digitization were an evident necessity. The needs and goals of this project were two-pronged: first, establishing physical and intellectual control over the items by building custom housing and enhancing item descriptions; and second, creating a digital collection featuring samples and highlights of the dance cards.

How do reorganizations affect us, and can they present opportunities to re-envision department structures? What is the impact of the increase in instruction we provide and how can we address that …
