Partners include the Atlanta University Center Robert W. Woodruff Library (AUC Woodruff Library), Morehouse College, Spelman College Archives and the Digital Library of Georgia. Through digital reformatting and a portal of publically accessible collections, this project intends to broaden access to historic publications, periodicals, theses and dissertations and photographs documenting the history of the Atlanta University Center, the largest consortium of Historically Black Colleges and Universities. This session-- part one of a series of three --will introduce attendees to the project goals and well as the selection, importance and significance of the materials included in the project. In addition, speakers will provide an update on accomplishments to date and familiarize viewers with the newly available digital collections and show how they are being made accessible through digital repositories, digital exhibits, social media and promotion. This webinar is sponsored by the HBCU Library Alliance, the Digital Library of Georgia and the AUC Woodruff Library. Future sessions will discuss project planning and management as well as strategies for outreach and dissemination.
