DigitalNC

To say the North Carolina Digital Heritage Society, or DigitalNC, has been an asset to NCCCAA would be a vast understatement! The free services and advice offered by DigitalNC staff have proven invaluable. DigitalNC hosts digitized materials from many of our member institutions in perpetuity at no cost.

The following is from DigitalNC’s About page:

The North Carolina Digital Heritage Center is a statewide digitization and digital publishing organization housed at UNC’s Wilson Special Collections Library. We work with North Carolina cultural heritage organizations* to scan, describe, and publish historical materials online, increasing access to and use of their collections. We are North Carolina’s hub for the Digital Public Library of America. The Center is supported by the State Library of North Carolina with funds from the Institute of Museum and Library Services under the provisions of the Library Services and Technology Act, and by the UNC-Chapel Hill University Library.

*We work with libraries, archives, museums, alumni associations, historic sites, history societies, and more.

Mission

The North Carolina Digital Heritage Center supports community engagement and lifelong learning by promoting and increasing open access to North Carolina’s cultural heritage.
