LeTourneau University (R.G. LeTourneau Museum and Archives)

The R.G. LeTourneau Museum and Archives at LeTourneau University will advance the management and care of its collection by creating a centralized repository for the digital archives to ensure adequate accessibility and easy search capabilities. The reference librarian will complete a certification program in archival management to gain the expertise needed to complete the project. The librarian will serve as the project supervisor, drafting metadata standards, and creating policies, procedures, training resources, and finding aides. Museum staff will participate in training to manage and sustain the collections on an ongoing basis. Throughout the project, student assistants will create webpages to highlight the project as well as special interest items in the collection. The project will make the collection more readily accessible to university students, researchers, and museum visitors.
