About The SODA ProjectThe Southern Oregon Digital Archives (SODA) was funded originally by a grant from the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS). From July of 2001 through December of 2004, IMLS funding enabled Hannon Library to create a digital library of over 1,500 documents in two collections, the Bioregion Collection and First Nations Collection. The digitized books, documents, and articles were drawn from Hannon Library’s rich collections of federal, state, and county publications, other library materials, and from outreach to regional agencies. Public access to the SODA database began in October 2002 More recently, Hannon Library was awarded a Library Services and Technology Act (LSTA) grant from the Oregon State Library. With a grant period beginning in February 2006, Hannon Library is partnering with the Southern Oregon Historical Society (SOHS), Jackson County Library Services, and the Josephine County Library System to create a the Southern Oregon History Collection. This phase of the LSTA grant runs through January 2007, by which time we anticipate having over 250 works including digitized books, government documents, maps and other materials from the historic era in Jackson, Josephine, Coos, Curry, and Douglas counties. The Southern Oregon History Collection became available to the public in October 2006. A proposal for additional LSTA funding to extend the Southern Oregon History Collection project through January 2008 has been submitted to the Oregon State Library. If successful, the new grant application will allow borrowing materials from additional partner organizations in Coos, Curry, and Douglas Counties, and will provide access to selected documents from the Rogue River National Forest Historical Records Collection. Southern Oregon Digital Archives Statistics: As of September 2006: approximately 2200 Items For more specific information about the project, see: |
