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><br />Somerset County residents should bring no mor
 e than 5 items to each digitization session\, &nbsp\;including:</p>\n<p>Hi
 storic photographs\, letters\, or documents\;<br />Sketches\, paintings\, 
 or other artwork\;<br />Family heirlooms including recipes\;<br />Jewelry 
 or decorative arts\;<br />Textiles such as quilts\, samplers\, flags\, or 
 uniforms\;<br />Antique toys\;<br />And\, other artifacts.</p>\n<p>If a re
 sident has a more robust collection of historical items that they wish to 
 digitize\, that patron should make a one-on-one appointment with the libra
 ry by emailing CommonHeritage@sclibnj.org. If a patron wishes to share an 
 oral history of a historic and/or life event\, short recorded interviews c
 an be arranged.</p>\n<p><br />SCLSNJ will make these collective memories a
 vailable for research and use for future generations by contributing digit
 ized items to Rutgers University&rsquo\;s New Jersey Digital Highway\, by 
 making them available in our library&rsquo\;s online catalog\, and by subm
 itting them to the Digital Public Library of America (DPLA).</p>\n<p><br /
 >SCLSNJ&rsquo\;s Common Heritage initiative has been made possible in part
  by a major grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities: Explorin
 g the human endeavor. Any views\, findings\, conclusions\, or recommendati
 ons expressed in these Library programs do not necessarily represent those

 cial accommodation (including food allergy if applicable to the program)? 
 If so\, please contact the library and provide at least two weeks notice p
 rior to the event date and the library will make every effort to honor all
  requests. Thereafter\, requests will still be considered and may have les
 s of a chance of being honored.</p>\nhttps://sclsnj.libnet.info/event/5961
