What are the basics to consider when creating an online collection or archive, and what are strategies for and benefits of partnering with other institutions–including an already established digital archive?

The William J. Hill Texas Artisans and Artists Archive is a hybrid digital database that documents the lives, work, and products of Texas artisans and artists through 1900. Since 2013, the Hill Archive has been working with private and public institutions as well as individual collectors to digitize objects and archival material from their collections.

In this webinar, Michelle Johnson will share lessons learned from these partnerships, along with tips and tricks for digitization and collaborative success. She'll also discuss strategies for overcoming challenges in digitization, data uniformity, and object description.
