Collections as Data: Part to Whole aims to foster the development of broadly viable models that support implementation and use of collections as data. This effort is made possible by The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation (see grant narrative).
Over a period of three years, Part to Whole will fund and programmatically support
two collections as data cohorts. Cohorts will be comprised of project
teams jointly led by librarians and disciplinary scholars. Project teams
will develop models that support collections as data implementation and
holistic reconceptualization of services and roles that support
scholarly use. Collections as data produced by project activity will
exhibit high research value, demonstrate the capacity to serve
underrepresented communities, represent a diversity of content types,
languages, and descriptive practices, and arise from a range of
institutional contexts.
