Building the Chögyam Trungpa Digital Library with Carolyn Gimian

A Mindful Gathering with Bill Moriarty and Carolyn Gimian.

To start off our summer-months Mindful Gatherings, we invited Carolyn Gimian, Executive Director of the Chögyam Trungpa Institute, to discuss the work behind creating the digital archive of Trungpa's teachings. Carolyn shared insights into the cataloging and preservation process, the vision for making these materials available worldwide, and the challenges of digitizing decades of recorded dharma talks.
