The Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS) has developed a Digital Collections Registry of projects funded through the IMLS National Leadership Grant Program. Users can browse by subject, Object, Place, Title of Collections, Grant Project Name and Hosting Institution. You can also search all metadata fields.
The results page not only provides information on the digital collection, but also information on the hosting institution and project background. A nice addition.
A search of Wisconsin institutions found two entries. First, the Africa Focus: Sights and Sounds of a Continent Collection developed by University of Wisconsin-Madison. Library (just a hop, skip and jump over the fountain to the east from WHS); and Second, American Journeys Collection developed by us, the Wisconsin Historical Society.
We need some more of this Wisconsin! Let's get going.
