Programs
4 programs
Wikimedia Engagement Program: To build and expand a centralized Wikimedia Engagement Program that will take 15 million culturally rich digital files from 1,000 member institutions from DPLA available on Wikipedia, Wikimedia Commons and related sites.
Cultural Heritage: DPLA's commitment to aggregating digital collections for public use is fundamental and mission-critical. This work has made millions of materials from libraries, archives, museums, and other cultural institutions across the country available to all in a one-stop discovery experience, https://dp.la. The cultural heritage network and platform laid the foundation for what DPLA is known for today: fruitful collaboration in pursuit of technology-based solutions to common challenges. We remain intent on the expansion of this program toward our goal of ensuring that every cultural institution in the nation has a pathway to contribute-particularly community-based efforts that represent experiences that have been historically marginalized.
