Abstract | abstract | text | Project abstract. | Much of Oregon's community knowledge, history, and culture is undocumented. This is particularly true for ethnic minorities, women, and rural populations. This project will add to an authoritative publication, The Oregon Encyclopedia, which documents the history of these under-represented people. Through a series of workshops and meetings led by trained historians and hosted by public, academic, and school libraries, the Libraries as Community Research Centers project is committed to providing an opportunity for Oregon students to contribute entries to the Encyclopedia. By working with students, tribal members, teachers and librarians, public, academic and tribal libraries will be strengthened as centers for research. The meetings will also generate 120 Encyclopedia entries that will be posted to the OE web site (http://www.oregonencyclopedia.org/). Significant, often fragile historic mining records are scattered in small collections at historical societies, libraries, museums, and local and state government offices across Oregon. The information contained in these records is used to identify natural, industrial and physical hazards and natural resources. This project will: 1) conduct a pilot project to assemble and digitize files held by Baker County, by historical societies in western Jackson and Josephine counties, and Dept. of Oregon Geology and Mineral Industries' (DOGAMI) Mined Land Regulation and Reclamation Program 2) prepare metadata, organize and serve the files on the DOGAMI website and 3) prepare an inventory of such resources held by other historical societies, local libraries, etc. This grant will create a program for Oregon libraries to collaborate on Spanish collection development and implement outreach activities. The program will send representatives to the Feria Internacional del Libro (FIL) in Guadalajara to purchase high quality Spanish-language books for participating libraries, will help libraries to develop and implement outreach plans for working with their Hispanic communities, and create a “Best of FIL” booklist for all Oregon libraries to use in collection development. Year 1 will focus on setting up a sustainable program infrastructure. This project will take tangible steps identified at the 2015 Northwest Digital Summit by building capacity for digital collections metadata cleanup, training, and support. These steps move the Orbis Cascade Alliance closer to submitting an application to be a regional hub for the Digital Public Library of America. This project will address the need for in-depth archives and records management training for Oregon's nine federally recognized Indian tribes. Establishing formal and sustainable archives and records management programs by the tribes has been difficult in part due to the lack of affordable and location-accessible training opportunities for tribal members with responsibilities for records. The need for this training will be met through the planning and implementation of a one-week institute that will cover the basic concepts and requirements for tribes to establish or improve their archives and records management programs. The training will be based in Oregon and will be at no or low cost to tribal participants. view top 100 |
