Teams of librarians, historians and other interested people met to over the course of the next year to discuss management, technical, and content issues. The outcome of those discussions and research done by RRLC was compiled into one document, the <a HREF="http://www.rrlc.org/WSDPGUIDE.html">Womens Suffrage Digitization Project (WSDP) General Implementation Guidelines and WSDP Blueprint Document</a>. The Guidelines Document also contains a list of those people who participated in the planning project.</p> <p>In October 1999, RRLC began to implement that plan, digitize items in the region and create a web site of suffrage information. <u><b>X-number of institutions participated </b></u>in the project by allowing the project to digitize and display some of their items on this web site. The images and text on this web site are <u><b>copyrighted</b></u>.</p> <p>Besides this web site, the implementation project produced a <u><b>Lessons Learned</b></u> document to summarize the knowledge gained in doing this project. This document should be read in conjunction with the <a HREF="http://www.rrlc.org/WSDPGUIDE.html">Guidelines Document</a>.</p> <p><b> </p> <p>Project Team: </b>The following people and organizations worked on the implementation project. <ul> <li>Kathleen M.
