Zoom program: Q&A for the Center’s new collections management system ‘Odyssey’

Launched in June of 2023, Odyssey houses tens of thousands of digitized images from the Center’s various collections. Odyssey allows users to explore the Center’s collections in a dynamic and user-friendly format. Join our director of archives and collections, Adrienne Evans, and our reference and digital projects archivist, Erin Rose, in a tutorial of the site. You’ll also have the opportunity to ask our archives team any questions you may have regarding the functionality of the search portal.

Recorded live on Tuesday, August 15, 2023, at 7:00 p.m. (U.S. Central Time). It’s available on our YouTube page.
