How NCPTT uses Social Media

On September 1, 2009 By Jeff Guin

Social media has become a household word, signifying our culture's leap into the digital lifestyle. This certainly wasn't the case three years ago when the National Center for Preservation Technology and Training first began experimenting with sites like YouTube, Flickr and Facebook.

At the time, the heritage preservation community was initially a little distrustful of these technologies. That began to change earlier this year, once folks realized that social media at its most effective is rooted in bringing together people of like interests and values to better one another and the societies in which they live, regardless of their location in the world. It's as if this was created for our cause!

This post offers a little insight into what NCPTT is doing in social media and how our efforts might benefit you as well.
