Volunteer: Stevens Point Holiday Inn Holidome scrapbook digitization

PCHS has a collection of 70 scrapbooks that showcase the various musical acts that visited our Stevens Point Holiday Inn. This venue was affectionately known as the Holidome. The volunteer will be trained on how to digitize scrapbook pages. Each scrapbook will be uploaded as its own archival file in our CatalogIt database, with all related metadata taken from the scrapbook and added to the database to provide context. The original scrapbooks will go to storage and the digital files will be made publicly available once the project is completed.
