Announcing the third annual Colorado Digitization Project Leadership
Seminar cosponsored by the Colorado Preservation Alliance.


The Digital Divide: Museums and Libraries Meet Needs Through
Digitization

On Friday, December 1, 2000, the Colorado Digitization Project will hold
the third annual leadership seminar for Colorado's archives, historical
societies, libraries and museums, at Front Range Community College,
Westminster, Colorado.  The focus of the seminar will be the digital
divide and how Colorado's cultural heritage institutions can respond to
the needs identified by the divide and respond through digitization of
primary source materials.  The keynote speaker will be David Bolt,
Studio Miramar and producer PBS Series, *Digital Divide*.    The issues
of the digital divide are being addressed nationally by Congress and the
President, by state legislatures, and by the private sector, through our
seminar libraries and museums together can begin to explore the role
that our special collections and unique resources play in bridging the
divide.   In addition to the keynote presentation, small group sessions
on technical topics will be held, as well as a closing general session
on outsourcing the creation of digital content.

 The Colorado Preservation Alliance will be co-sponsoring this program.
In addition the CPA will be presenting a half-day seminar on the
preservation of resources as part of the digitization process on
Thursday, November 30, 2000 at the same location.

 More information will be available in mid-September, so save these
dates and plan to join us for a discussions on our the how cultural
heritage institutions meet the needs of new communities and the
pre-conference on preservation.  For more information, contact Liz
Bishoff, CDP Project Director, BISHOFFL@CONCENTRIC.NET OR 303-759-3399 x
