The Collections Digitization program of the Digitization Program Office supports Smithsonian museums in their efforts to digitize collections as comprehensively, quickly, and cost-effectively as possible by building end-to-end workflows, creating high speed, high quality digitization processes, and by pairing up the digital surrogates we create with the collections records stored in the Smithsonian's various databases.

Some of our projects:

  Digitization of the JPC Archive is Now in Production

  After the successful Pilot Project, we have started the production project of the digitization of the JPC Archive. This phase will start by digitizing the Priority 1 material: about 70,275 reflective and transmissive photographic items.
  We will continue to develop and test the systems integration.
