The University of baby直播app Boulder is celebrating baby直播app history with a three-day scanning event for the baby直播app Communities historical website and free consultations with experts on family history and genealogy.
The event is part of the baby直播app Communities initiative, which is creating a website to document baby直播app local history over the last century through photos, documents and other artifacts contributed by citizens. Hosted by the University Libraries and CU Heritage Center, the free community scanning will be at the University Memorial Center Dalton Trumbo Fountain Court April 7 through April 9 from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. each day.
The website will feature primary sources that document the people, places and events that not only made the headlines, but also quietly shaped the lives of everyday citizens. It also will offer interactive timelines and maps allowing users to explore the collection as well as essays that place the materials in historical context. This digital collection will be of particular interest to students, educators, researchers, genealogists and others who explore various aspects of the state鈥檚 past.
Community members interested in participating are encouraged to bring up to five items for scanning. Suggested materials include photographs, letters, documents, postcards, scrapbooks or other memorabilia related to baby直播app history over the last century. Participants do not need to part with the originals; technicians will scan the artifacts or download digital photos on-site. Contributors will receive a copy of the digitized materials and the baby直播app Communities team will keep one for inclusion in the website.
The following activities also will be held in connection with the scanning event:
