Tech Tidbits videos: DigitalVaults

This week I am demonstrating the use of DigitalVaults, hosted by The National Archives Experience.  The site makes available a large amount of historical resources that have digitized for the purposes of engaging in research projects and presentations.  You can search for resources by keyword or by tag, and the results can be filtered by media type, such as documents, images, posters, videos, maps, and more.  You can view the information for each document and view links to additional resources available on external weblinks.  

Using this site, you can add resources to a collection and import those resources into a digital poster or animated slideshow movie.  To save and/or share your presentations, you do have to create a free account using a valid e-mail address.  If you are a Wake County Public Schools employee and are using this site for educational purposes, please register using your WCPSS e-mail address. Likewise, if you are a WCPSS student, please register your account using your WCPSS student e-mail address.

I created a series of two videos demonstrating DigitalVaults; the first provides an overview of the site.  The second demonstrates how to use the digital resources to create a digital poster and/or an animated slideshow video.
