This presentation reflects on the experience of University of Oregon Library and Museum employees with regards to the Mellon Project, which aimed to bring Library and Museum resources together for faculty-led digital projects that helped present research to a wider audience. We hope these reflections will be useful for librarians and curators considering their own digital projects.
