Digitizing Murder: Inventory, Platform Choices, and Web Sites, Oh My!

Speaker(s): 
Rebecca Mattson, Susan Altmeyer

The Cuyahoga County Prosecutor donated files from the Sam Sheppard trials to our library, with the understanding that the library would digitize all fifty-plus boxes of materials in 18 months.  The materials include thousands of documents, photos and physical items from the 1954 murder trial which found Dr. Sam Sheppard guilty of murdering his wife, the subsequent appeals, culminating in the U.S. Supreme Court decision in Sheppard v.
