The Digital Divide:
Museums and Libraries Meet the Needs Through Digitization
3rd Annual Colorado Digitization Project Leadership Seminar

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 and the Society of Rocky Mountain
Archivists 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.

Space is limited to 100 people.
