Over a period of three years, Collections as Data: Part to Whole is funding and programmatically supporting two cohorts. Cohorts are comprised of project teams jointly led by librarians and disciplinary scholars. In total, 12 project teams are developing models that support collections as data implementation and holistic reconceptualization of services and roles that support scholarly use. Collections as data produced by project activity exhibit high research value, demonstrate the capacity to serve underrepresented communities, represent a diversity of content types, languages, and descriptive practices, and arise from a range of institutional contexts.
This site gathers links to deliverables produced by [Collections as Data: Part to Whole][1] and its 12 institutional regrantees.
