Every Thursday in April, the Wisconsin Historical Society’s Local History Outreach Team will offer a one-hour Zoom webinar on a topic relevant to the local history community for its Spring Webinar Series. Local and national speakers will discuss fundraising, digitization projects, outreach and collections while also fielding questions from audience members.

Improving online access to historical local newspapers is a goal for many historical societies. On Thursday, April 13, join a panel of Wisconsin Historical Society staff members as they discuss tips to enhance the process of planning, creating and maintaining online newspaper collections. Panelists will focus on technology considerations, metadata standards, access considerations and future planning.

Panelists include:
• John Friend, Microfilm Lab Supervisor
• Katie Poland, National Digital Newspaper Program Librarian
• Fran Steele, Serials Librarian
• Daniel Hartwig, Digital Services Director

Cost: Free.
