The online materials encompass books, manuscripts, and other historic materials from over seventy collaborative partners. This free resource opens many sources to genealogists as well as to other serious researchers and scholars and can be accessed on home computers. Ms. Belden holds a MLS from the University of North Texas, and her interests include exploring how digital cultural heritage collections can most effectively be used in education, and working with museums and libraries to place their materials on line. She is currently serving on the 2008 Texas Library Association (TLA) Conference planning committee, Co-Chair of the 2009 TLA Conference Planning Committee, and Chair of the TLA Digital Libraries Round Table, and Chair of the Training Group of the Texas Heritage Digitization Initiative.
