Topic: Managing and Providing Access to Community-Generated Digital Content
Managing digital materials created within specific community contexts is an area of increasing interest and research within the cultural heritage sector and presents both myriad challenges and exciting opportunities. This program will feature two presentations showcasing exciting projects underway at the Ohio History Connection and the Columbus Metropolitan Library to collect and facilitate access to community-generated digital content. Presenters will touch upon the overall aims of their projects, particular workflows and processes involved, and lessons learned as they look to continue their projects into the future.

Presentations:
- The Gay Ohio History Initiative at the Ohio History Connection. Jenni Salamon, Manager, Digital Services, Ohio History Connection.
Jenni Salamon will discuss the Gay Ohio History Initiative (GOHI) Community Collection<https://gohi.org/>. Originally funded through a National Endowment for the Humanities Common Heritage grant, this digital collection contains about 50 items documenting Ohio's LGBTQ+ history that were contributed by members of the public. Jenni will share the history of the project, how they collected the digital images and metadata for Ohio Memory, and lessons learned from and next steps for this effort.
- Community Oral History Initiative at Columbus Metropolitan Library. Grace Freeman and Eugene Rutigliano, Librarians, Local History & Genealogy, Columbus Metropolitan Library.
Based on discussions with branch library staff, Columbus Metropolitan Library's Local History & Genealogy division is developing a process for collecting and publishing oral histories shared by customers all over the city. Grace Freeman and Eugene Rutigliano will share the documentation they have created in collaboration with branch staff and discuss how these materials are being processed and published through the library's digital collections<https://www.columbuslibrary.org/myhistory/>.
