CVL Collections

Are you looking for a way to share digital collections like yearbooks, photos, and oral history recordings online?  The CVL Collections program can help you create and maintain a content management system (CMS) to store digital versions of the items in your collections and make them easy to find online. Additionally, CVL Collections facilitates participation in the Digital Public Library of America (DPLA) via the Plains to Peaks Collective (PPC), which helps libraries, archives, and museums share unique digital collections with a wider audience.

This page features news about the CVL Collections program and participants. To learn more about CVL Collections, and how your institution can participate, visit cvlcollections.org, or contact Amy Hitchner at ahitchner@coloradovirtuallibrary.org.
