Russia Beyond Russia Digital Library
»rbr.lib.unc.edu

CDLA is the institutional home for this multi-stage project to digitize and provide access to the André Savine Collection documenting the lives of Russians who lived in exile from the 1917 Revolution onward.

Mass Digitization of Library Collections

CDLA places historic research collections online in order to improve access to library materials, facilitate innovative teaching, build virtual collections in collaboration with other libraries, and enhance institutional visibility. Ongoing investigations include:

• Scribe high-speed book scanner, in partnership with the Internet Archive, Open Content Alliance, and Renaissance Computing Institute. We will test the feasibility and application of high-speed digitization to print collections from our library and others (http://www.archive.org/details/unclibraries).
• Digitizing vast archival collections, through a grant from the Watson-Brown Foundation to digitize the papers of Georgia Populist Party politician Thomas E. Watson.

• Enlisting scholars in setting digitization priorities through "Extending the Reach of Southern Sources," funded by the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation (www.lib.unc.edu/mss/archivalmassdigitization).

Capturing Institutional Intellectual Output (Institutional Repository)

CDLA's Institutional Repository program seeks to manage and preserve the University's scholarly and administrative resources in an age when scholarship is increasingly born digital and the Internet is a primary channel for communication. By improving access to the intellectual endeavors of Carolina's scholars, students, and research centers, we can increase the visibility and ongoing vitality of the University's research enterprise.

Scholarly Publishing

CDLA investigates and articulates new publishing models and new roles for scholars, librarians, and publishers.

• Publishing the Long Civil Rights Movement, funded by the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation and led by the UNC Press, will explore innovative approaches to scholarly publishing, focusing on the American civil rights movement from the 1930s onward. CDLA will provide research and technological support, including development of a digital platform to deliver online collections and services.
