Digital Collections is celebrating 10 years, 150 digital collections and more than half a million images available online.

Generally, digital collections provide free and open access to print, pictorial and audio-visual collections that reside in library and archive special collections. The national move to create digital collections began in the early 1990s.

The Digital Collections department at UofSC doesn’t have its own collections. Instead, it works closely with special collections areas to digitize and make available their materials. A team of library faculty and staff have dedicated themselves to making this happen.
