The Olive Tree

Fogler Library's 2002 National Leadership Grant in the Preservation and Digitization category was selected for an award of $344,270. In this two-year project, "The Maine Music Box," The University of Maine in partnership with the Bagaduce Music Lending Library and the Bangor Public Library, will design and implement an interactive, multimedia, digital music library (images of scores with associated sound renditions, cover art, and lyrics). Users will be able to view, play, and print scores and manipulate music by changing the key and instrument. The project will be linked to statewide public school music curriculum standards. It will deliver an instructional tool that advances the development and use of digital libraries and enriches the experience of music educators and students.
