This package is ideal for Junior Leagues that need more support in figuring out what types of materials to send and also wish to have a larger digital archive to start with. HistoryIT conducts more video interviews than available in the Basic package in order to produce a detailed customized plan to organize and digitally preserve the entirety of your archival holdings over time. It also produces a digital museum, including an online timeline, biography portal and storytelling platform, to manage and share the newly digital historical materials. Digital preservation includes up to 2,500 archival assets*. It requires that your League have at least one point person who is willing to answer questions, meet via video conferences with HistoryIT, and pack and ship a selection of materials.
