Are you interested in proposing a digital project in the library? 

• If you are a librarian or collection manager at the Library, and want to propose a digital project, contact Angela Waarala, the Digital Collections Project Manager. Quarterly meetings with Special Collections libraries are used to plan project and priorities as well. There are several departments in the Library involved in implementing a digital project.  
• If you are a located elsewhere on campus, contact the library owning of the special collections material. Representatives from various departments will attend meetings to plan and implement the project.
