The article offers information on the Digital Past project launched by the North Suburban Library System under an Educate and Automate grant in Illinois in 1998. The project allowed member libraries to learn the art of digitizing their local history collections. It has a collection of about 130,000 records contributed by various cultural institutions, such as the Lake County Discovery Museum. It also turned into a relational database in 2000 and Online Computer Library Center's (OCLC) ContentDM.
