This site showcases some of the online multimedia collections built under auspices of the University of Washington Libraries Digital Initiatives Program. The Libraries, often working with partnering institutions or faculty built the collections presented here. Projects are selected which emphasize the Libraries strengths, or which provide technological or knowledge management challenges. Specialized curricular support material, not presented on this site, is also created by the Program and made available to enrolled UW students. Since 1997, the Program has collaborated with faculty, engineers, students, librarians and the public to build digital libraries from a users perspective. The Program digitizes collections of scholarly and general interest, and by including facultys personal curriculum collections, supports using multimedia in teaching and research. Many of the Digital Initiatives projects have been cooperative, especially with parties from the Pacific Northwest Region. The Libraries seeks partners with complementary holdings to become part of a multimedia archive.
