A digital warehouse is under construction on the World Wide Web that could change how Oklahomans, including Oklahoma journalists, obtain public records.
ODMC founded at OU The Oklahoma Digital Media Center (ODMC) was conceptualized as an information clearinghouse for journalism education, scholarship in mass communication and related fields, the professional development of journalists, and for the citizens of Oklahoma and the nation. The collections of the ODMC will include historical collections related to journalism and mass communication, digitized public records that are otherwise unavailable, and digital cultural artifacts like photographs, video recordings, and sound recordings. The ODMC provides digital access to historical and cultural resources that might otherwise be lost or that are simply not accessible to the public. As the Ransom Center at the University of Texas collects and archives the physical artifacts of American culture, the ODMC will collect and archive digital materials of interest to citizens and scholars in Oklahoma and beyond. The ODMC will enhance democracy through its indirect impact on journalism education and more directly by giving citizens access to public, historical, and cultural records via the Internet.
