Staff reportsFriends of the Oklahoma History Center has received a $35,000 grant from the Inasmuch Foundation to fund a project to digitize the Oklahoma Historical Society's scholarly journal, The Chronicles of Oklahoma. The grant also honors the work of Bob Blackburn, who began his career with the Oklahoma Historical Society as editor of The Chronicles of Oklahoma and recently retired after 41 years of service to the state. The Oklahoma Historical Society is in the process of uploading full issues of The Chronicles of Oklahoma to The Gateway to Oklahoma History, an online repository of Oklahoma history housing historic newspapers, photographs, maps and documents. Funds from the grant will be used to pay staff to process digitized issues of The Chronicles of Oklahoma in such a way as to give patrons the ability to download or print individual articles, book reviews, meeting minutes, or other specific content from each issue.Read more on NewsOK.com
