We are excited to announce the participants in our second IMLS-funded Curating Community Digital Collections cohort! This summer, each team — made up of a supervisor at a host library or museum, a library school grad student and a professional mentor — will work together to plan for improved management and organization of the host site’s existing digital collections.
Stay tuned for more information about each team and their summer projects in the coming weeks.
