In the age of ever-increasing importance of digital accessibility of collections, questions of digitization and aggregation remain as relevant as ever. The Digital Public Library of America (DPLA) provides a rich platform for discovering digital collections at thousands of organizations across the United States, including in Maryland and Delaware. Hear how two DPLA hubs – Digital Maryland and the NJ/DE Digital Collective – can help people find and access your historical treasures. This session is intended for any cultural heritage workers in Maryland or Delaware who are interested in hearing about the hubs or potentially getting involved. It is also an opportunity for representatives at existing partner institutions to ask questions and make comments.
