Why it matters

Programs get printed, handed out and forgotten

A game program is designed for one night, so few copies survive. The ones that do are often the best source for a forgotten roster or a coach’s first season. They tend to sit in a box no one has opened in years.

Ideas for Program and Media Guide Digitization

Rosters from championship programs

A program from a title game can confirm who was on the team that night.

Media guide record pages

Record pages in old media guides list past results worth checking against your record book.

Banquet and awards programs

End-of-season banquet programs show who earned each team award.

Induction night programs

Past induction programs can supply biographies for earlier hall of fame classes.

Covers as visual history

Program covers show how school logos and colors have changed over time.

Fine arts and theater programs

Concert and play programs bring the arts into the same history.

How it works with Data Entry & Project Management

Program and Media Guide Digitization, step by step.

Three steps

  1. Sort programs by year and event

    Group programs by season and event, then tell Rocket what you have. A few sample pages are enough to start.

  2. Agree what to pull from them

    Decide whether the programs feed rosters, records or biographies, and your proposal lists that work.

  3. Check entries against the pages

    Rocket enters the agreed details, and your team confirms names and dates before anything goes live.

Setups vary by school; your demo confirms what yours will use.

Best practices

Tips to get it right.

Program and Media Guide Digitization tips

  1. Start with one program type

    Banquet programs or induction programs alone can make a strong first collection.

  2. Ask alumni for missing years

    Graduates may have kept the program from their senior season.

  3. Flag ads and sponsor pages

    Mark pages that are only ads so effort goes to rosters and stories.

  4. Keep the full program too

    Even if you only need the roster, a clear copy of the whole program is worth saving.

Questions
