The Digital Initiatives team has made every effort to involve the Arts Center of Cannon County in developing the collection. Initial meetings with Evan Hatch, the Center’s folklorist, covered everything from selection issues to scanning standards. The Center’s logo appears on the collection web site, and links to the Center’s web site. Treating the Center as an equal partner improved the quality of this initial digital collection, and it has also increased the likelihood of future partnerships. Early success of the project has encouraged discussions of additional materials that may be forthcoming to document the history and deep crafts tradition of Cannon County
