The Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS) National Leadership Grants Program has awarded the Association of Research Libraries (ARL) and Ithaka S+R, the strategy and research arm of ITHAKA, a grant amount of $464,286 to study how libraries, archives, and museums are sustaining digitised special collections.
The 2-year study builds upon past work examining sustainability of digital resources done by Ithaka S+R. Project activities under this cooperative agreement will include a survey of digitised special collections and focused interviews with leaders and project staff in selected cultural heritage organisations who manage those collections.
The study's final report of lessons learned, recommendations, and case studies will be freely shared through the partners' websites, through a webcast, and conference presentations.
