Local library to digitize its data
Karen Culp, director
Soon, anybody from anywhere can access local historical documents more easily without going to Tiffin-Seneca Public Library. They are to be able to visit the Internet to get their desired information. T-SPL and libraries in Bellefontaine, Bluffton, Clyde, Defiance, Elmore, Findlay, Metamora, Pemberville, Rossford, Swanton and Wood County are scanning books and documents to put them in digital form. The materials then are to be available on the Internet as part of the Ohio Memory project. “Anybody, anywhere can access our history,” said Karen Culp, director of T-SPL. Officials at the libraries are to scan publications such as atlases, books, flyers, newsletters, pamphlets, photographs, postcards, slides and yearbooks. Locally, yearbooks are to be scanned first, followed by genealogy materials, according to information from T-SPL. “The biggest advantage is just accessibility,” said Jo Anne Schiefer, head of technical services for the library, about the project.
