[PRCo] Re: Scanning Archives

[Edward H. Lybarger]

Grants are pretty scarce right now.  I'd want to know more about the
partnering arrangement in any event.

One of my concerns in hiring staff to scan is that they don't know what
they're looking at, which poses a big problem where images are not
specifically identified.  There has been much written on this site about
flawed captions in the PCP material; I'd not want to see anything like that
happen.

Thanks,
Ed

Just asking a question. Are grants available for the museum library? If yes
can a grant be written for scanning archives and partnering with Historic
Pittsburgh?
