We provide a digital collections platform for institutions that cannot host one themselves. You maintain control over your collections without worrying about putting them online or keeping them working.
Becoming a partner is easy. We provide FREE hosting and training to all Mississippi cultural heritage institutions regardless of religious or political affiliation.
We are proud to offer an annual Cultural Heritage Digitization Award designed to help an institution jump start or significantly increase their digital collections. Details and information can be found here.
Free Training
We offer training at all stages of the digitization process from buying equipment and handling materials to creating metadata and file storage.
Limited Assistance
We may be able to help digitize materials that require the use of specialty equipment such as negatives, oversize, or fragile materials. Contact us if you have a specialty project.
