Preservation Services at Dartmouth College: Digital Production Unit

Tuesday, July 3, 2012

Digital Production Unit

Beginning in 2012, the Library's Digital Production Unit (DPU) formally became part of Preservation Services. This change is one of many recommended by the Dartmouth Digital Library Program Plan; for other recommendations or to see a broad overview of the digital project process, consult the full report.

The DPU is located in Baker Room 02, off of the Reserve Corridor. If you are a library staff member and have an idea for a digitization project, please talk to any member of DPIG or fill out a web form for review by that committee.

To see all the completed digital collections, visit the Dartmouth Digital Library Initiatives web page; or learn about our special partnership with NewsBank and the conservation and digitization of the U.S. Congressional Serial Set.
