The Benefits and Reuse of Digitized Materials for Researchers and Public Historians

Kailey J. McAlpin, PhD candidate, Georgia State University

McAlpin will discuss her experience working with digitized cultural and historical materials from the Digital Library of Georgia database in the process of curating an online exhibit. She will also talk about the way that DLG's digitized collections has facilitated my own work as a doctoral candidate at Georgia State University conducting dissertation research and how it is beneficial to public historians working in institutions of cultural heritage.
