Happy Monday! I wanted to share some upcoming Digitization and Digital Collections training opportunities from a variety of sources. If you are interested any of the courses below, the Library of Michigan offers a Continuing Education Stipend that could be used to assist with the costs of the classes.

Lucidea is offering a free webinar "Selection for Digitization" presented by archives expert Margot Note on March 29th, 2023, 2:00 PM ET. In this session, Margot will cover appraisal fundamentals, donor restrictions, fair use and more. Click here for more information and registration.
