Six congregations and three archival repositories have banded together to digitize the records of eleven of Philadelphia’s historic congregations and make their records available online through a unified portal. Working collaboratively they secured funding, found individuals and institutions to provide technical expertise, and recruited volunteers to make it all possible. This session will explore how working collaboratively and sharing resources makes great initiatives possible.
