Building a Digital Cultural Heritage Resource: BCR’s Collaborative Digitization Program

Breakout session from the Living the Future 7 Conference, April 30-May 3, 2008, University of Arizona Libraries, Tucson, AZ. / Originally started as the Colorado Digitization Project (CDP) funded with an LSTA grant, the CDP was one of the earliest programs in the U.S. to embrace the participation of museums, libraries, archives and historical societies in its statewide digital initiatives. The recipient of a number of additional LSTA, IMLS, and NEH grants, the CDP expanded into a multi-state initiative. Now referred to as BCR’s CDP (Collaborative Digitization Program), the program continues to build on the strength of its members to collaborate on setting standards and best practices to be used in group digitization projects. This session will cover the evolution of the program, including the governance structure, the initial planning process, techniques used to effectively move the initiative forward and the evolution of the organization into its current incarnation.
