Recollection Wisconsin Digitization Initiative

Join us! Recollection Wisconsin seeks new content partners and information school graduate students to participate in a collaborative effort to build our digital collections. Content partners will select new collections to digitize. Student staff will complete digitization and metadata work as part of a practicum or independent study experience, and receive a stipend from us. Digitized collections will be added to Recollection Wisconsin. It’s a win-win-win!
