electronic format. The project involved collaboration between the Office of the
Attorney General (OAG) and the DOJ Library Staff to ensure the completeness of
the collection.
In 2010, the digitized speeches were completed and gradually uploaded onto the
DOJ Internet, accessible through each Attorney’s General biography page on the
DOJ Internet site. The process of digitizing and reviewing all of these speeches was
a team effort. The Systems Team along with Winburn, on loan from the Library
Web Team, created the web pages. They then checked and rechecked the pages
along with the Digitization Team prior to being sent to the Department’s Web Team
for posting on the DOJ Internet site.
An example of the end result of the Attorneys General Speeches Project can be
