RICHES” W / Dr. Connie Lester from UCF

Dr. Connie Lester, joins us for this special program to talk about the fascinating Regional Initiative for the Collection of History, Experiences, and Stories or “RICHES” project.  Spanning multiple universities, the RICHES project serves as a model for documenting regional history, especially “hidden” history and culture, through an interactive database that draws from multiple repositories and personal collections.  The project also seeks to develop new digital tools for historians of tomorrow.  Don’t miss this informative look behind the scenes at the program that brings the “History Harvest” to our Heritage Day event each year.
