Welcome to the YWCA USA Digitization project blog! This blog will document the progress of the CLIR Digitizing Hidden Collections grant project at Smith College Special Collections. It is our hope that this website will foster collaboration between informational professionals, archival institutions, and those with interest in the subject matter. Additionally, the resources posted here and stories told through blog posts hope to serve future projects at Smith College as well as other cultural institutions embarking on similar projects. By engaging the community, projects take on an organic and rich life, enhancing the current activity as well as future endeavors. Stay tuned for weekly updates on project successes, challenges, and fun finds! We look forward to collaborating with you.
