Abstract

This article examines the first phase of a small, collaborative digital project in terms of project life cycle, including a review of general project management literature focused on the library and information services field. The project is the Southeast Kansas Farm History Oral History Project. Published on the web using OCLC‟s CONTENTdm software, it contains oral history of southeast Kansas farm residents in the form of sound recordings, transcripts, and photographs. The project is a joint project between Axe Library Special Collections of Pittsburg State University, the Southeast Kansas Farm History Center, and the Parsons Public Library.
