ULA / MPLA Conference 2024

Take a campus tour without leaving your computer and maybe even learn something about its history. That is what an application called ThingLink has allowed the Archives of Oklahoma State University Libraries to do. Using 360 photos taken around OSU campus, ThingLink allows those images to be manipulated with embedded links that not only map the campus itself, but give historical context of buildings and important OSU figures using digitized archival material and information. Join OSU Archivist Benjamin Hedges as he shows off a personal project and how other institutions can use ThingLink or similar applications to build engagement with an institution and its archive.
