The program is called "The Yearbook Project", and it is sponsored by the Records Conversion Department at OCI; as I previously stated<i>…<b>COMPLETELY FREE</b></i>.<b> </b><u>We even pay the S & H.</u> <span style='color:#7030A0'><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#7030A0'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal>The Yearbook Project came about after it was brought to our attention that high schools and local libraries throughout Oklahoma were losing their yearbooks. Some were being destroyed by natural disasters, and others were being destroyed by people cutting images out of them. Once they are gone or damaged it is nearly impossible to replace them and these yearbooks are irreplaceable because of their historical value alone. The Records Conversion and Digital Imaging departments also use this program as an advertising tool to highlight the quality of work we do here at OCI. There’s no obligation for our other services, we would just hope you keep us in mind if you ever do need them.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>OCI is a state agency located in Lexington, Oklahoma. Our Records Conversion department has been in business for thirty (30) years and consists of four areas; Data Entry, Digital Imaging, Image Review & Verification, and Microfilm. <span style='color:red'>We do records conversion for every state agency in</span> <span style='color:red'>Oklahoma</span>. These include; the Department of Education, Department of Human Services, Department of Labor, The Oklahoma Supreme Court, and the Attorney General's Office, just to name a few. <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>We decided to start a project where we could help preserve these books and their historical content. After beginning this process, we discovered there is a great need for this service by the overwhelming response we’ve received. OCI decided to expand our free project by contacting other states with this offer. <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Our goal is to digitize and preserve as many high school yearbooks as possible using our non-destructive scanning method. This ensures that the yearbooks are not damaged and that they are returned in their original condition. The yearbooks are scanned at 300 dpi and saved in a [jpeg] format. Meaning, they are done with <i>Publisher Quality</i> so that libraries can digitally reprint any books, just a few pages, or a single image from the DVD for anyone who would like a copy, or you can burn-off DVD’s and sell them. This can been a good way to raise money for your library with Class Reunions, Alumni Groups, Historical Societies, etc.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>After the yearbooks are scanned, they are returned to your library along with a set of DVD’s containing each yearbook. <u>These DVD’s belong to the library</u> and you can then load it in your computer database for everyone to access. In addition, if you would like to contact the area high schools and add to your current collection, we will provide a second set of DVD’s to share with the schools (also free) and their books would be returned to you. <i>Just be sure to let us know which school(s) to include an extra set for.</i> The only thing needed to be done from your side is for you and/or your staff to box them up (no more than 25-30 in a copier-paper size box, please) tape them securely and make two inventory sheets, <i>one for yourself and one to be put in the box</i>. You’ll then call us and let us know what day you would like scheduled for pick-up and we will take care of the rest with FED-EX. <u>We will send you the shipping-labels</u> via-email and the books will be returned to you within 2-3 weeks. Whether you have only a few or hundreds, we would be happy to be of service to you.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>OCI is a state agency located in Lexington, Oklahoma.
