Take me to the movie show : curating and creating digital content.

Abstract

The digital presence of museums has continually grown in recent years. This project examines the processes of digitizing a collection and creating digital content. The goals of this project were to select 155 pieces from the Frances G. Spencer Collection of American Popular Sheet Music, digitize them, and then to create audio files for a selection of these pieces. This project utilized the resources at the Riley Digitization Center and the Crouch Fine Arts Library at Baylor University to both digitize and create content. This project serves as a reference for the processes and challenges of selecting and creating digital content.
