Z. SMITH REYNOLDS LIBRARY
Susan Smith
- Biblical Recorder Digitization Outsourcing Project
Awarded $75,000 for the period 7/1/10 to 6/30/11
Source: State Library of North Carolina
The library owns one of the most complete collections of the 175-year-old Biblical Recorder, the organ of the North Carolina Baptist State Convention, both in microfilm and paper. The 122 microfilm rolls are heavily used for research on a wide range of subjects significant to North Carolina’s history and culture, and access requires in-person visits to the library. This project aims to digitize the content and make it freely available on the internet. Olive Software uses an innovative automated process to produce rich XML data that is fully searchable while retaining the original look and feel of the print document. Researchers will have unprecedented search capabilities at the page, article, picture, and ad level.
- Preserving Forsyth’s Past Outreach Program
Awarded $33,151 for the period 7/1/09 to 6/30/10
Source: State Library of North Carolina
Z. Smith Reynolds Library (ZSR) and Forsyth County Public Library will reach out to small Forsyth County organizations to educate them about how to organize and preserve their cultural heritage materials. It will establish public digitization centers, equipped with software and trained staff, to remediate barriers to preserving important local history.
- Digital Forsyth
Awarded $90,117 for the period 7/1/08 to 6/30/09

Z. Smith Reynolds Library, Coy C. Carpenter Library
at the School of Medicine, the Winston-Salem State University
Archives at C. G. O’Kelly Library, and the Forsyth County
Public Library will develop a comprehensive online digital collection
of photographs pertaining to the nineteenth, twentieth, and twenty-first
century history of Forsyth County. The partners will produce a
virtual collection with greater value and access to citizens,
students, scholars, and lifelong learners as a collective whole
than would be possible through isolated, individual efforts. Photographs
focus on people, places, businesses, and institutions in Winston-Salem
and Forsyth County of great significance to North Carolina’s
cultural heritage.
- Digital
Forsyth Collaborative Project Planning Grant
Awarded: $11,992
Source: State Library of North Carolina
Funds support a consultant to help Z. Smith Reynolds Library
plan a collaborative digitization project with its two partners,
Forsyth Public Library and Winston-Salem State University’s
C. G. O’Kelly Library. Each institution has a rich collection
of unique resources that document a wide range of events and
topics in the historical, socioeconomic, and cultural development
of Forsyth County. The partners plan to produce a virtual collection
of greater value as a collective whole than individual efforts.
The project will focus on:
• making significant cultural resources more accessible
by using new digital technologies and the Internet;
• providing librarians/archivists with the education necessary
to develop and to manage subsequent digital projects; and
• developing a solid foundation for continued collaboration
between three of the major cultural repositories in the Winston-Salem
area to respond to community needs for improved library services.
- Special Collections Finding-Aid
Conversion
Awarded $20,700 for the period 7/1/04 to 6/30/05
Source: State Library of North Carolina
Z. Smith Reynolds Library aims to convert all of its 530 paper-based,
special collection guides into electronic documents that will
be available over the Internet and through the library's online
catalog. Some of the encoding will be outsourced, while ZSR
Library staff undertake pre- and postprocessing activities to
ensure that the converted materials are accurate and useful
and gain proficiency with the encoding techniques for future
projects. Accomplishing the retrospective digitization of existing
paper-based guides will allow future local efforts to focus
on creating new finding aids as they are written.
- EZ Grant LSTA Project Planning
Awarded $22,000 for the period 2/1/03 to 9/30/03
Source: State Library of North Carolina
Funds will support a consultant, who will help
the library prepare a strategic plan to digitize parts of the
collection. Many unique materials can be made much more accessible
via the internet, and, at the same time, digitization will help
to preserve fragile materials by limiting the need to handle them.
