Digital projects are a great way to promote collections. At SC&A we having been adding new ways to interact with materials from our collections online.<\/p>\n

One online tool we are using to highlight the Federal Theatre Project collection is the Library of Congress endorsed Viewshare<\/a>. Viewshare is a dynamic tool that allows users to upload data and then visualize that data in new and exciting ways. Among the viewing options is a gallery, map, timeline, list, table, and pie graph. We have utilized some of these views to create a new display of our Federal Theatre Project Poster, Costume, and Set Design Slide Collection<\/a>.\u00a0Users can now browse the collection in a gallery view, list view, or on a map (above) or on a timeline (below).<\/p>\n
