Grant awarded January 10, 2011
Dickinson State University has established the Theodore Roosevelt Center, which includes both a physical Center and a comprehensive digital library of documents and artifacts of Theodore Roosevelt. The Center has been working to digitize and catalog the Library of Congress holdings of Theodore Roosevelt. In addition, DSU is in the process of digitizing TR’s documents from Harvard College Library and from six sites within the National Park Service related to Roosevelt. All items will be cataloged with metadata entries so they are searchable and available to everyone, including students, scholars and the general public, through the Center’s web site. A TPS Awareness workshop was held on April 28, 2011 for a group of 20 North Dakotans from museums, parks service, school districts and other agencies.  A two-day Level I workshop for educators will be held on July 17-18, 2012.
