Virtual Archives



Hello -- We are embarking on a Virtual Archive project here at NJIT.  We
will be documenting the social history of the institution.  This will
include scanning yaerbooks and linking information in them regarding our
faculty, staff, and students to other information we may have or is
available in cyberspace.  Two projects that we plan on constructing are:

1) a timeline of the university compared to local/national/world events with
links to websites or internal information to augment it

2) historical maps of the university in increments of 10 years.  These would
have links to information about the structures and programs w/in the
sturctures, et al.

My question: is there anyone out there right now that is working on any
project similar to this?

Thank You -- Dan Noonan

"The librarian will have to be a more active participant in staving off
"infochaos." If the traditional librarian has been conceived as a   figure
at home in the discreet silences and cautious dealings of a Henry James
novel, now perhaps the right model will be found in James Fenimore Cooper or
the Star Wars films: something between the pathfinder Natty Bumppo and the
Jedi knight."
