[Libs-Or] Summer Harvest - Northwest Digital Heritage

[FUQUA Ross * SLO]

Hello all,

Northwest Digital Heritage (our partnership with Oregon Heritage<https://www.oregon.gov/oprd/OH/Pages/default.aspx> and the Washington State Library<https://www2.sos.wa.gov/library/>) continues to aggregate metadata from digital collections throughout our region, as part of our role as a service hub of the Digital Public Library of America.

We recently crossed the 800,000 harvested-record mark, and are pleased to welcome a number of new NWDH-contributing organizations, including the University of Idaho Libraries and Western Oregon University. Please see Evan Robb's message below for more highlights from our most recent harvest.

If you are associated with an organization or community in Oregon (including Orbis Cascade Alliance member institutions!) interested in digital collections support, or in contributing records to our aggregation efforts, please reach out to me anytime! We'd love to work with you.

Cheers,

Subject: [NWDigitalProjects] Summer Harvest - Northwest Digital Heritage - Digital Public Library of America

The Northwest Digital Heritage hub grew to include over 830,000 records from 250+ institutions this summer, welcoming new content from the University of Idaho Library's Digital Initiatives<https://dp.la/search?partner=%22Northwest+Digital+Heritage%22&provider=%22University+of+Idaho%22&page=1&sort_by=&sort_order=&list_view=list&page_size=100> and the Western Oregon University Archives and Special Collections<https://dp.la/search?partner=%22Northwest+Digital+Heritage%22&sort_by=title&sort_order=asc&list_view=list&page_size=100&provider=%22Western+Oregon+University%22>. New records were included from existing contributors as well.

One highlight from the latest harvest is a set of regional college football and basketball game<https://dp.la/search?q=football+OR+basketball&partner=%22Northwest+Digital+Heritage%22&type=%22moving+image%22&page=1> films/recordings dating back as far as 1916.

And the power of regional data aggregation is evident in a simple search on "Olympic Games"<https://nwdh.dp.la/search?q=olympic%20games> in the hub's DPLA Local site<https://nwdh.dp.la/search?q=olympic%20games>.
