The retention of two staff positions at the Pennsylvania Horticultural Society’s McLean Library to describe and upload 2,000 digitized items that document the history of Philadelphia-area gardens and landscapes between 1900 and 2010 for an online exhibit and inclusion in a state digital repository.

PHS McLean Library staff will create metadata and make widely accessible 2,000 digitized items that depict Philadelphia-area gardens and landscapes and their creators between 1900 and 2010. In concert with metadata creation, we will plan and execute an online exhibit and a webinar drawn from these digitized objects.
