Early in 2013 the AHSPP signed up to a new digital library module called ‘Artifacts of History’ created by South Carolina company BiblioBoard. This will allow a huge range of images, publications, videos and interviews from the Clarence project (including past research) to be accessed through library database subscriptions and also vis a free iPad & Android App. Access to the Clarence anthology will be completely free of charge.
BiblioBoard included us in their blog on 9 April 2013 because they were so excited to have us on board.
We have just finished curating the anthology and expect it to be live in the next four weeks. A paper on the BiblioBoard Clarence Anthology will be presented at the 2013 AIMA Conference in Canberra.
We will let you know as soon as the project is available.
I have borrowed a short description from the BiblioBoard website for you:
BiblioBoard is an award winning App and web ecosystem that connects tens of thousands of library patrons and consumers with digital archives from all over the world. It is a brand new multimedia experience built around primary source historical content and a growing library of contemporary publisher content focused on historical subjects. We have aligned our ecosystem with the Readers First movement which aims to improve e-book access and services for library users.
