local history online

[Jenny Paradiso]

Hi All,

Are there any libraries out there who provide online, searchable access to local history resources (eg. photos, oral histories)?

If so, could you please post the url of your site?

How do you provide access to the resources?  For example, are you using your library web catalogue to enable online access, or do you have a separate database?

Who is responsible for maintaining and adding to the online local history collection? 

Does the collection belong to the library or a local historical society?

Thanks in advance,

Jenny.
