Practical Technology for Archives, Issue no. 3 (November 2014).https://hdl.handle.net/11299/169379In 2008, the University of Minnesota Archives developed a low-cost, in-house solution for routine mass digitization of university publications, reports, and records. The strategies offered in this paper highlight a practical program for the mass digitization of organizational archival records using a rapid capture process that is replicable regardless of the size or resources of the repository. It will review the establishment of the rapid capture workflow at the University of Minnesota Archives; provide details on how it functions, including equipment information, scanner settings, and workflow procedures; explain the selection process for scanning; describe how it has helped to create inreach opportunities; and finally, examine how it has changed not only daily operations, but the perspective on what it means to provide broad access to the collections.enCreative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial 4.0 International Licensehttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0/ArchivesDigitizationInstitutional repositoriesRapid captureArticle
