Digital Collections

Dartmouth College Library provides digital versions of its rich collections and archives to advance teaching, learning, and to celebrate the Dartmouth Experience. This is a strategic initiative, aimed at using our developing digital production, preservation, and metadata expertise to create digital copies of items that have an immediate application or that provide online access to in-demand materials. Drawing on Special Collections, College Archives, and the general library collections, we are working to produce and deliver books, manuscripts, sound files, maps, films, and photographic collections in a digital library setting.

We are also keen to promote and share Dartmouth generated scholarship with as wide an audience as possible. To this end we are currently seeking permission from authors to digitize all the Dartmouth Ph.D dissertations in our collection in order to share them on the web. Masters Theses will follow. We are exploring the policies and infrastructure needed to allow large-scale, open-access digital delivery of published faculty scholarship, when the faculty member wishes to do so.

Initial collections include the Encyclopedia Arctica, Jon Appleton's music, and selected rare book and manuscript items.

Digital Publishing

Dartmouth College Library helps faculty to publish and support original scholarly content in a digital environment. Several innovative online journals have been created and edited at Dartmouth during this time, and our first scholarly monograph -- a book by Dartmouth Emeritus Professor of Classics, William Scott -- will join them in 2009.

Digital Exhibits

Dartmouth College Library mounts selected exhibits online. Each year, Dartmouth's library buildings play host to multiple exhibits, drawing on its collections, programs such as the Book Arts Workshop, and the expertise of its staff. Starting in late 2008, some of these in-house exhibits are also appearing on-line.
