Carolina Digital Library and Archives (CDLA)

The CDLA brings the power of digital technologies to library and archival collections and to the work of scholars, researchers, and students at Carolina and beyond. Established in 2007, the CDLA builds and stewards digital collections at Carolina while developing standards and practices that will advance the work of libraries, archives, and scholarly communications.

The CDLA seeks to:

• Build and maintain digital collections.
• Develop strategies to improve access to intellectual and cultural resources in all formats.
• Devise sustainable programs for the long-term management and preservation of digital resources.
• Provide scholars and librarians with new technological resources, services, and tools.
• Use and develop open standards and open-source software whenever possible.

A Collaboration

The CDLA works collaboratively with faculty members, librarians, and archivists and pursues research and development efforts cooperatively with other institutions and organizations. We welcome inquiries about our work and potential partnership arrangements.
