Consortium Management

WiLS is a partner in the Recollection Wisconsin Service Hub, as well as the project manager.

Recollection Wisconsin is now a Service Hub for the Digital Public Library of America!

. . . so what does that mean?

Recollection Wisconsin aggregates digital versions of historical resources from Wisconsin libraries, archives, museums and historical societies, and provides guidelines and training to help standardize cultural heritage digitization efforts across the state. 

DPLA brings together the riches of America’s libraries, archives, and museums, and makes them freely available to the world.
