KITS ARE LOANED TO LIBRARIES ONLY. MUSEUMS SHOULD CONTACT KIT SUPPORT at kitsupport@coloradovirtuallibrary.org. Sponsored by the Colorado State Library.

This kit was designed for small and rural libraries and cultural heritage organizations that want to create digital collections without the expense of buying and maintaining equipment. Kit contents are meant for use by the borrowing institution, and not intended to be checked out to individual patrons.

The kit is designed to be used by staff that are new to digitization at libraries and cultural heritage organizations that wish to participate in the Plains to Peaks Collective (PPC) (and by extension the Digital Public Library of America (DPLA)), have identified collection content that can be digitized and that is historically significant to their community. The Storytelling Kit contains equipment to facilitate the creation of oral history interviews, as audio or video recordings. Also included are how-to guides, templates, and best practices for oral history creation.
