Strategic Digitization Program

The Strategic Digitization Program Review Group, in cooperation with Digital Library Services (DLS), solicits proposals from all Libraries units for projects to digitize analog materials in all formats. The purpose of the projects may be to enable or increase access to content, to preserve the content of rare, fragile, or at-risk collections, or both reasons.

Project selection


The Digitization Review Group is charged with evaluating proposals and establishing the necessary project priorities. Through this digitization program, we intend to provide patrons with greater access to our own unique, distinctive collections by focusing exclusively on those materials that fall outside the scope of the Google Digitization Program. More information about about filling out a proposal can be found on the Frequently Asked Questions page.

Review period

The group will solicit proposals twice each year, generally in the Spring and Fall.

Resources

Working with faculty

The Digitization Review Group encourages librarians and other staff submitting proposals to engage with faculty and departments across campus to ensure that our digitization efforts help to support their teaching, research and scholarship. To help foster this dialog, the digitization review group has created the following documents.
