Through Creating Communities, information on Denver neighborhoods from official records of the City and County of Denver and a wide variety of partner institutions will be digitized and brought together in an easy to navigate online resource.
This project will bring together items in virtual space, which are physically located in institutions spread across the Front Range of Colorado. Creating the unique partnership of the public library, municipal government, educational institutions and the Colorado Historical Society, this project will demonstrate how these groups can create a rich historical information database, easily accessible to the community without regard to the physical location of either the data or the user.
Residents, students K-12, teachers, municipal employees, real estate developers, historic preservationists and scholars will be able to find historical and current information about seven of Denver’s neighborhoods on Creating Communities Online. The Library hopes to add other Denver neighborhoods over ten years.
By using Creating Communities, researchers can learn about the history, economy, demography, and institutions that existed and continue to thrive in their neighborhoods.
