Called the Hudson River Valley Heritage, artifacts and documents are accessible and searchable through the Internet 24 hours a day, seven days a week for researchers -- academics, history teachers, students or browsers. The Hudson River Valley Heritage (HRVH) is a powerful new resource that allows libraries and cultural heritage organizations from the region to digitize, organize, and showcase a wide range of historic collections of the Hudson River Valley region -- from precious photographs and maps to multimedia clips, newspapers, postcards, documents, manuscripts and other memorabilia -- along with searchable labeling or metadata. Further, the online collections will continue to grow as more and more organizations join this regional digital archiving collaborative. (PRWeb May 28, 2006)
