Welcome to meta|morphosis: microfilm-to-digital lecture series
In 2005 the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) together with the Library of Congress (LC) launched the National Digital Newspaper Program (NDNP) to enhance access to United States newspapers published between 1836 and 1922.
By 2006 the University of Kentucky Libraries (UK) had developed meta|morphosis: microfilm-to-digital lecture series. It's mission was to prepare non-NDNP states for inclusion in, and digitization beyond, NDNP. Now, meta|morphosis brings those teachings to your screen through a series of self-paced video tutorials, quizzes, and other resources. Here, you'll learn how to...
- demystify historic newspapapers
- evaluate microfilm
- write a request for proposal
- anticipate storage needs
- collect and disseminate metadata
Who Should Participate?
meta|morphosis is designed for libraries, historical societies, and general enthusiasts with an interest in digitization of historical newspapers on microfilm. The tutorials are for all levels of learning - beginner to expert - with a concentration on the NDNP specification.
