 tive memories of Somerset County residents.\n.\nhttps://sclsnj.libnet.info
 /event/595989
X-ALT-DESC;FMTTYPE=text/html:<p>Utilizing a suite of digitization equipmen
 t including high resolution scanners\, a lightbox\, a digital single-lens 
 reflex camera\, and more\; and the expertise of SCLSNJ&rsquo\;s archival a
 nd historical librarians\, the Library will be providing residents the opp
 ortunity to both preserve and learn about their own history and that of th
 eir neighbors.</p>\n<p>Somerset County residents should bring no more than
  5 items to each digitization session\, &nbsp\;including:</p>\n<p>Historic
  photographs\, letters\, or documents\;<br />Sketches\, paintings\, or oth
 er artwork\;<br />Family heirlooms including recipes\;<br />Jewelry or dec
 orative arts\;<br />Textiles such as quilts\, samplers\, flags\, or unifor
 ms\;<br />Antique toys\;<br />And\, other artifacts.</p>\n<p>If a resident
  has a more robust collection of historical items that they wish to digiti
 ze\, that patron should make a one-on-one appointment with the library by 
 emailing CommonHeritage@sclibnj.org. If a patron wishes to share an oral h
 istory of a historic and/or life event\, short recorded interviews can be 
 arranged.</p>\n<p><br />SCLSNJ will make these collective memories availab
 le for research and use for future generations by contributing digitized i
 tems to Rutgers University&rsquo\;s New Jersey Digital Highway\, by making
  them available in our library&rsquo\;s online catalog\, and by submitting
  them to the Digital Public Library of America (DPLA).</p>\n<p>SCLSNJ&rsqu
 o\;s Common Heritage initiative has been made possible in part by a major 
 grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities: Exploring the human 
 endeavor. Any views\, findings\, conclusions\, or recommendations expresse
 d in these Library programs do not necessarily represent those of the Nati
 onal Endowment for the Humanities.</p>\n<p>Will you need a special accommo
 dation (including food allergy if applicable to the program)? If so\, plea
 se contact the library and provide at least two weeks notice prior to the 
 event date and the library will make every effort to honor all requests. T
 hereafter\, requests will still be considered and may have less of a chanc
 e of being honored.</p>\nhttps://sclsnj.libnet.info/event/595989
