University of Denver, Penrose Library

This two-year project in partnership with representative museums and libraries from Kansas, Nebraska, Wyoming, and Colorado will explore the degree to which the Colorado Digitization Project (CDP) model for collaboration can be used in other states; explore the issues related to the development of infrastructure for a Digital Library of Western Heritage; test development of a collection of digital primary source materials on Western Trails owned by the participating institutions; provide the general public with access to this virtual collection and findings to the library and museum community.
