-‐ newspaper clippings-‐ printed programs
-‐ outdated web directories Monday, November 11, 13

“A number of theatrical companies listed in online directories were no longer active by the time we started our Archive-‐It activities in
2011.”(Kuhn, Wahl: Folger RBMS Poster, June 2013)
“Have we lost the cirst decade of Shakespeare on the Web?”
If so, we don’t want to lose the second!

RECOMMENDATIONS:
-‐ Communication (Online Strategy Council, Collection Development Committee, Folger Staff and Readers)
Documentation (Archive-‐It webinar write-‐ups, Updated Metadata Workclow, Updated Workclow for Adding a
Collection)
Small, Yet Effective: Customized URL, Uploading Folger Logo, “Landing page” on Folger Website
