IN A RESPONSE TO A GROWING DEMAND FOR UNIQUE LOCAL HISTORY INFORMATION, THE SCOTT COUNTY LIBRARY SYSTEM, WHICH SERVES THE RURAL AREAS AND TOWNS OF SCOTT COUNTY, IOWA, WILL ESTABLISH A MOBILE DIGITIZATION LAB FOR PHOTOGRAPHS, MANUSCRIPTS, AND OTHER DOCUMENTS RELATING TO LOCAL HISTORY IN ORDER TO BUILD A DIGITAL COLLECTION FOCUSED ON COUNTY HISTORY. THE PROJECT TEAM WILL HOST SCANNING DAY PROGRAMS IN THE LIBRARY?S SIX BRANCH COMMUNITIES AND OTHER LOCATIONS, ALLOWING USERS FROM ALL WALKS OF RURAL LIFE TO TELL THEIR STORIES, DIGITIZE THEIR PHOTOS, AND PHOTOGRAPH DETERIORATING PHOTO ALBUMS. THE PROJECT WILL ALSO CONDUCT ORAL HISTORIES AND HOLD EVENTS TO KICK OFF AND CELEBRATE MILESTONES OF THE PROJECT.
