Learn about Historypin in LA on 10/21

There will be a special presentation held by Historypin on Friday,
October 21 at 2pm at the Glendale Public Library, Central Branch.

Historypin, created by We Are What We Do in partnership with Google,
is a way for millions of people to come together to share glimpses of
the past and build up the story of human history. The project,
launched globally in July 2011, consists of the main online hub,
Historypin.com, a Smartphone app and a series of dedicated social
programmes, across education, community, archives and volunteers.
Historypin is a non-profit, collaborative initiative, which is working
with more and more libraries, archives and museums everyday to help
them unlock their resources and reach new audiences.

Nick Stanhope, CEO of the non-profit organization that created
Historypin, will provide an overview of Historypin and its current
projects.

Nick will also discuss how institutions and individuals with
collections can get started with the project and answer any questions
regarding workflow, content preparation, and selection.

Please feel free to bring your colleagues or to pass this along to
other institutions that might be interested.

Where: Glendale Public Library, Auditorium
222 E. Harvard St.

About Nick Stanhope
After graduating from Oxford University in 2002, Nick spent six years
working on the ground in communities, as a teacher, youth worker and
fundraiser, before joining We Are What We Do in 2007 and becoming CEO
in early 2009. Nick has gathered a team of more than twenty We Are
What We Do-ers in London, Sofia and San Francisco, and significantly

behaviors built into them, incidentally helping people to do simple,
good things and addressing major social and environmental issues.

Creating and Funding Preservation Projects to Enhance Collection Care

Do you want to get a preservation grant to take care of your
collections? Many institutions have used grant-funded projects to
enhance the level of care they can provide for their collections, and
sometimes even to jump start their preservation programs. By the end
of the one-day workshop, participants will have outlined a
preservation project proposal specific to their institution,
identified possible funding sources, and tested their ideas with other
workshop participants. Training locations include Los Angeles, San
Diego, San Francisco, and Sacramento.
