Abstract
  • This paper documents a minimal-investment project to migrate legacy exhibits of the State Archives of North Carolina and the State Library of North Carolina into a new exhibiting platform. The Drupal-based platform links with the institutions' existing discovery platform (CONTENTdm) and offers robust means for centrally managing and creating exhibits. Through discussion of this project and the surrounding literature, the paper argues that digital exhibits remain a vital and sustainable tool for libraries and archives, helping institutions to fulfill their role not only as data disseminators, but as active agents of mediation and interpretation. The paper provides specific documentation of tools used in the project, detailed time logs, and project cost assessments.
