A local history collection is a unique and valuable asset to the library and the community. Learn how the Chelsea District Library created a website to highlight and improve access to their community’s history. StoriesofChelsea.org was developed by a non-technology librarian as an online access point for local history resources. It incorporates the old and the new of Chelsea, where historical photos are exhibited alongside video archives of a popular local cable television show. StoriesofChelsea.org is also an avenue for promoting library-created content by serving as the home of the library’s oral history project. This project uses video to record oral histories on the various topics including one room schoolhouses, WWII veterans, farmers and local landmarks and produce feature-length documentaries. Both the individual interviews and completed documentaries are available to stream from StoriesofChelsa.org. This presentation is about identifying the gems in your local history collection and creating a forum to give them maximum exposure, without compromising their fragile physical state, using free or affordable user-friendly technology resources. Preserving and exhibiting local history digitally can be an effective and simple way to showcase your resources and connect with your community
