Recollect was excited and proud to work with The Montana Memory Project to digitize its collections and make them freely available to the public.
The Montana Memory Project protects Montana’s rich history by encouraging the digitization of historic and contemporary material held in cultural heritage institutions. As a project of the Montana State Library and the Montana Historical Society, it aims to make these valuable digital collections freely available to the public for lifelong learning and engagement.
Recollect worked with the Montana State Library to implement a cloud-based platform that helped more than 80 organizations make Montana’s cultural heritage more accessible. The digital collections held within these organizations spans a wide range of items including historical maps, rare books, photographs, antique objects, and more – all of which Recollect was able to unite to narrate Montana’s past and tell community stories.
The updated Montana Memory Project platform, powered by Recollect, acts as an online hub for digitized items and ephemera. Users are provided with opportunities for learning and discovery, while developing a deeper understanding of the state’s expansive history.
“I am excited to move our content to this new platform. Recollect provides The Montana Memory Project an opportunity to grow in new directions and we look forward to improved user engagement with our content.”
Jennifer Birnel, MMP Director, Montana State Library
