North Carolina ECHO, part of the Library Development Division of the State Library of North Carolina, proposes a panel discussion of successful digitization grants funded by the project. This would include a brief demonstration of the NC ECHO portal www.ncecho.org, followed by presentation from three grant recipients from various cultural institutions. The three will show how they have digitized and made available via the Internet documents, photographs, maps and 3 –dimensional artifacts. Collaborations between libraries and their non-library partners will be a particular focus of the panel. Concluding remarks will illustrate State Library of North Carolina digitization funding opportunities.
