Joining Together for a New Era in Hull's History
Smith, David Alexander
Library + Information Update, p. 62-63, Jan-Feb 2009
Local history materials; Libraries; Grants; UK
The UK city of Hull has received a Heritage Lottery Fund grant to build a new local history centre that will bring together library, archive and university collections. Staff will be retrained to work across the disciplines. The grant, amounting to 7.7 million pounds, will be used to create the Hull History Centre, a purpose-built local studies centre merging the Hull Local Studies Library, the Hull City Archives and the University of Hull Archives into one building in the centre of the city. The new building will have the equivalent of 13 kilometers of atmospherically controlled storage space; a 120-seat lecture theatre; space for activities and teaching; a library area; dedicated microform and information technology spaces; an 'inner sanctum' for customers using older/rarer/archival items of stock; and a new conservation suite.

Northwest Ohio libraries put local history online
Ruland, Barbara
Interface, vol. 30, n. 1, p. 12, spring 2008
The Northwest Regional Library System (NORWELD) offers a wide range of services in support of its fifty-three member libraries in northwest Ohio. Many constituent libraries maintain local history departments, which their patrons prize as valuable resources, and there is continuing interest in making the collections available online. In response, NORWELD is sponsoring or participating in three programs designed to help local libraries make their history departments available through the Internet. The most recent initiative is Northwest Ohio Narratives, which commenced in the spring of 2006. NORWELD provides video production services, technical support, and training for member libraries wishing to record oral history interviews with members of their communities. Since the project began, NORWELD has produced more than 110 professional, broadcast-quality, oral-history videos. NORWELD has also transferred dozens of audio recordings to DVD.

A Sense of Place
Dixon, Diana
Library + Information Update, p. 30-33, Dec 2008
Southwold Museum in England is run by local volunteers who staff it seven days a week from Easter to October. The Southwold Museum & Historical Society, a subscription-paying group of about 400 members, is responsible for the building and its collections. On the eve of its 75th anniversary, the honorary curatorship was given to Diana Dixon, a woman known for her championship of local studies. That gives her an interesting perspective on the similarities and differences between museums and libraries. Since Dixon's arrival, the museum has rationalised its procedures and brought all its documentation up to the standards needed for accreditation -- essential if it is to continue to receive project funding.

Weaving the past into the present by digitizing local history.
Schlumpf, Kay; Zschernitz, Rob
Computers in Libraries, vol. 27, n. 3, p. 10-15, Mar 2007
Describes the local history digitization project at the North Suburban Library System (NSLS), a multitype consortium in Wheeling, Illinois. The initiative, known as Digital Past (www.digitalpast.org), is made up of institutions of all sizes with collections of all types. Although there are various reasons to digitize with Digital Past, the main intent of most participants is to reach out to the communities they serve. Among the items that have been digitized as part of Digital Past are fragile old documents, photos, and books, which have been transcribed and cataloged for archival storage where they will rarely need to see the light of day again. School kids, community members, and genealogists, as well as serious researchers, can now access these items any time they want.

Committing to memory: a project to publish and preserve California local history digital resources.
Turner, Adrian L.
Journal of Archival Organization, vol. 4, n. 1/2, p. 11-27, 2006
This article highlights the LSTA-grant funded California Local History Digital Resources Project (LHDRP) as a case study of a collaborative statewide program involving three primary groups: cultural heritage institutions, grant funding agencies, and digital library service providers. It explores how the infrastructure of the California Digital Library (CDL) is utilized to preserve and promote public access to digitized local history collections, and discusses challenges and technical solutions to integrating heterogeneous resources into METS-based repositories. Project building blocks are also discussed, including digital object encoding and transmission tools, scanning services, metadata and imaging standards, and training programs.

"Let us hasten to redeem the time that is lost": J. G. M. Ramsey's role in the collection and promotion of Tennessee history.
Lawrimore, Erin R.
Libraries & The Cultural Record, vol. 41, n. 4, p. 419-437, Sep 2006
The son of an early East Tennessee settler, James Gettys McGready Ramsey saw it as his patriotic duty to collect, preserve and disseminate his knowledge and grand vision of the pioneer generation to scholars, whom he believed had overlooked the region's important contributions to American history. Although an 1863 fire destroyed his collections, Ramsey's work with state and local historical societies, his correspondence with historian and fellow collector Lyman C. Draper, and the 1853 publication of his "Annals of Tennessee" continue to influence the compilation and interpretation of the region's historical record.

The North Yorkshire Unnetie Digitisation Project: from an idea to an opportunity
Melrose, Elizabeth Anne
New Library World; 105 (5) 2004, p.196-202
There are well-funded national schemes that involve cross-domain partnerships, linking archives, libraries and museums. The North Yorkshire Unnetie Digitisation Project (www.northyorks.gov.uk /unnetie) is a much smaller co-operative digitisation undertaking. It started with very little experience of collaboration with partners, less funding and originally no idea of the process. Helped by the New Opportunities Fund and Resource, the library service is working with a County Record Office, a museum and a local history society to digitise the little-known archive of a local photographer to provide a searchable Web site of images alongside several storylines illustrating life in the region in the mid-twentieth century. The project team has been supported by these partners, overcoming lack of knowledge and various obstacles, such as the lack of commitment on the part of the IT developers. The benefits of working with colleagues were immeasurable and the relationships that have been built up will continue. This experience shows that what is needed is enthusiasm, energy, perseverance and the will to talk to associates in the same field.
Small is innovative
Fraser, Fiona
Bookseller; (5143) 27 Aug 2004, p.20-21
Independent bookshop the Bookcase, in Lowdham, Nottinghamshire, and its proprietor Jane Streeter have a reputation for enterprise. Not content to grow sales by 10% in the past year, Streeter has now set up a publishing imprint, Bookcase Editions, with the aim of bringing books of local interest back into print. Streeter has been one of the driving forces behind the Booksellers Association's initiative - "Playing to Local Strengths" - to develop a model for small booksellers to produce local interest titles. Interview.
Collection development: real steps to include a forgotten group
Bell, Dorothy; Gaston, Betty Jo
Community & Junior College Libraries; 12 (3) 2004, p.9-16
In the 1950s, the State of Florida led the way in developing a national model for the development of the junior or community college system. The Brown vs Board of Education Supreme Court Decision impacted the segregated system and during the 1960s, Florida's 12 black junior colleges were merged with pre-existent majority campuses. This pattern of growth then merger reflected the larger history of growth of the local communities, the state, and the nation. The library of St. Petersburg College has seized the opportunity and shouldered the responsibility to preserve such a history for the diverse community in which it exists. Thanks to the joint efforts of the library, archivists, the community, inter-agency group, and grant funding, the complete history of a group too significant to be forgotten and the St. Petersburg College is being preserved for generations to come.

Edited version of a paper given at the New South Wales (Australia) CPLA Conference, Cessnock, 2000, and published in 'Australasian Public Libraries and Information Services' 13(3) Sep 2000. Reflects on the relationship between memory and history, especially in connection with local studies collections, and warns of the dangers of relying only on the mass media as a source of historical information. Suggests that librarians should proactively collect information from the community to serve as the historical information for the future. They should also help the community record its own memories by developing content for the Web.

Le richieste possono essere inoltrate per fax, posta elettronica e con uso di form on-line. Il servizio è riservato alle biblioteche e agli utenti iscritti alla biblioteca.
