Today, I have been scanning more images. I'm up to number 61. Once I remember how to use the software after a bit of a hiatus, I am able to scan, name, and file about one image every 4.5 minutes. As you can see, I also added a blog feature here for news and announcements like this.
Also, added some links to books and materials I have so far identified that pertain to Winslow and Kennebec River History.
I met with Jack Nivison last week and we discussed the digitization project, Maine Memory Network, and reviewed the voluminous and impressive histories Jack has compiled. He has a lot of knowledge of the subject matter of the photos being scanned and will be helping with the MMN cataloging process. We plan to scan his histories and get them online.
Our first meeting of the year is scheduled for Monday, February 6, from 6 PM to 8 PM at the Winslow Public Library. For the meeting, I hope as many of you as possible can come, and especially anyone with time to help, and also any of the school librarians and teachers in the history, social studies, or other relevant departments. Even if the teachers do not have time (I'd think not - my wfe teaches - I know) they might like to hear what is happening and where we're headed and offer suggestions.
Tell friends and/or bring them along.
An RSVP either way would be helpful so I have an idea who is and is not coming.
Historically,
Tom
