PDHC Celebrating Preservation Week 2011
The Pasadena Digital History Collaboration (PDHC), a partnership of the Pasadena Public Library, the Pasadena Museum of History and Pasadena City College Shatford Library, will be hosting a week of activities on their Facebook page (www.facebook.com/pasadenadigital). Everyday, new videos and webinars will be posted that teach basic skills for the preservation of materials. To encourage community participation, the PDHC will also post two multiple choice trivia questions each day. Be the first person to answer the questions correctly and be entered to win two tickets to the Huntington Library, Art Collection, and Botanical Gardens!
PCC Preservation Week
This speech was delivered by Vice President of Instructional Administration Jackie Jacobs to the PCC Board of Trustees:
"The PCC Shatford Library is celebrating American Library Association’s Preservation Week with an exhibit in the Library’s rotunda. It is filled with PCC’s historical heritage in photographs and memorabilia.
The Shatford Library is also a founding member of the Pasadena Digital History Collaboration, which brings together the historical resources of Pasadena City College, Pasadena Public Library and Pasadena Museum of History in a shared, digital repository.
Just recently, representatives from the Huntington Library agreed to join the collaboration with the photograph collections of Harold Parker and J. Allen Hawkins. A first glance of these collections reveal historical photographs of Pasadena High School and PJC which are not in our collections or archives. It is a treasure trove of Pasadena history.
Finally, on April 29th, the Shatford Library and the Retirees Association invite all retirees to an evening event called “Capture the Memories.” The Library will provide dinner, talk about the digital collaboration and database, and then ask retirees to help identify details in historical photographs in the Library’s Archival collections: people, places, and events."

PDHC General Meeting Update
Please check our wiki for the full minutes from the meeting April 7th, 2011. (Click here) Some highlights were:
- The Huntington will be partering with the PDHC. Almost 900 photographs from the Harold Parker collection will be added. This is great time for our next online exhibit in July since the Huntington’s Parker Collection has many photographs of education in Pasadena. We will work out any issues with subject headings as we go, and Mario has given us permission to add our own local headings as we see appropriate.
- Preservation Week is in full swing at PPL and PCC - exhibits up April 25-29th.
- There are many enhancements from CONTENTdm 6, but even more for 6.1; therefore, we have decided to wait to upgrade everything to 6.1 in June when it is released.
- Still waiting to hear back from the NEH about our grant proposal
