Digital Possibilities Series: Strategies for the Digitization of Municipal Archives - The Chicago City Council Audio Recordings, 1970-2012

In this webinar, Matt Messbarger will explain the specific challenges faced and strategies developed to plan and complete this large-scale project with a focus on access and preservation of a unique record of Chicago history.
