Digital Project Development Process
Submitting a Digital Project Proposal
The UW Digital Collections Center welcomes project proposal from UW
administration, faculty, staff, and students! Please review the information below
prior to submitting your proposal.
In general, you should consider the following criteria *before* submitting a digital
project proposal:
1. Who is the audience for this digital project?
2. How will users interact with this material?
3. Is the material already digitized and available online?
4. Do you have permission to digitize and publish online, this material?
5. What impact will digitization have on your daily work?
What makes a good digital project? Consider the following criteria and
guidelines for selecting project materials. Projects that meet these criteria are
most likely to be approved.
1. support instruction or research needs
2. do not circulate, e.g. rare books, materials from Special Collections
3. enhance an existing digital collection
4. are unique, e.g. not previously digitized nor available online in any format
5. high use, regularly requested by UW faculty or students
6. are distinctive and have potential for academic use and general education
interest (K-12)
Although some of our projects are grant-funded, it is not necessary to secure
outside funding to complete a project with the UWDCC. There is funding
provided by UW System and the UW General Library System for digital projects.
