Step One
           Examine your collections
What do you have?
           Are your collections historically
               significant? unique? useful?
Prioritize
              When plotting your project
             consider condition and need
Step Two
           Assemble your team!
Who will do the work?
           Research * Metadata* Technology
                      Grants * Coordination
Step Three
                Learn
             the ropes
Start small, then expand
                  Learn and establish best
              practices with finite projects.
Organization
                   File management and
               preservation is mandatory
Best Practices
                 Scan once, use many times.

Step Four
            To keep moving forward...
Finances
           It’s hard, but not impossible
Avoid getting stuck
           Don’t forget to budget time as well!
If you scan it will they come?
           You have to promote the collection
                          as well as create it!
Keep notes for the future
               Your next project leader will
           appreciate avoiding the disasters!
Finally...
             A couple plugs...
Tell a story!
                           Use images and words.
                Tell the story behind the images.
