New webinar! Demystifying Digitization
Submitted by Pamela Vadakan on Mon, 04/20/2020 - 22:27Due to the coronavirus, we need to cancel our summer workshops.
Like everyone else, we'll see you on the internet! We're substituting our workshops with a webinar, "Demystifying Digitization: An Introduction to California Revealed," on Thursday, April 30th, 12:00-1:30pm.
During this webinar, Director Pamela Vadakan will provide general guidelines for any digitization project, as well as review the steps to participate in California Revealed.
Please feel free to join us if you're new to our program or would like a refresher. All are welcome!
