JAHA Digitization Project

This week we will be starting into the Johnstown Area Heritage Association (JAHA) working closely with Dr. Justus and David. I personally do not know a lot about the JAHA program or what they do exactly so this will be a new experience for me and also a great way to learn something new that I can add to my skill list.

JAHA operates as a clearinghouse and catalyst for revitalization efforts based on cultural tourism and historic preservation". They are a non-profit, membership based organization who operate the Johnstown Flood Museum and the Frank & Sylvia Pasquerilla Heritage Discovery Center.

I am excited to see what we are going to do with this project and I can not wait for Thanksgiving break.

  1. yeah I share a similar sentiment. As I am in the MMDC program, I look to do this as a possible internship down the line, and I think that it is a good skill to learn anyway. It is apparent that you could use these skills to not only digitize older photos, but also keep track of the story they tell, and doing that by looking at their order and other data that we have yet to create.
