ECHOES Essex County History Online Exhibits
http://www.nmrls.org/enha/exhibit/
ECHOES was initially conceived as a digital demonstration project, for both our participating libraries as well
as ourselves. We wanted to see if we could create a great final product with the staff and equipment at hand.
We were interested in promotion of, not the preservation of, the objects on view from the collections that make
up ECHOES. In terms of the actual scanning and image processing our goal was simplicity. We therefore
thought in terms of the ECHOES website being the final product. The image sizes and formats (JPEG) as well
as the storage medium (CD-ROM), were picked for their widespread use and compatibility.
NELINET

NELINET is embarking on a new program to provide digital services to its members. The program has two complementary components. The first is to offer
digitization services such as educational programs, technical recommendations, best practices, consulting, and vendor partnerships to our members. The second
part of the effort will be directed toward creating New England Collections Online, a virtual union catalog of digitized materials that relate to New England,
contributed by libraries, archives, museums, historical societies, and other institutions in New England.
