Lunch with the Libraries: Preservation and Access: The Importance of Digitization

Description

Learn how the Sheridan Libraries' Digitization Services unit brings gorgeous antiquities to life on the screen. Digitization specialist Cameron Hanley will present a tour of the lab and show examples of rare items from the Libraries' collections that have been digitized at exceptionally high-resolution, providing Johns Hopkins scholars and researchers worldwide with safe and efficient access to these unique, primary-source materials. This access is especially critical in the era of social distancing and remote learning.

The program is co-sponsored by the Sheridan Libraries & University Museums, the Friends of the Johns Hopkins University Libraries, and the Johns Hopkins Arts, Entertainment, Media, and Entrepreneurship Affinity Group.
