At Washington State University’s Center for Digital Scholarship and Curation (CDSC), community members, students, faculty and

CDSC provides support, outreach, training, and access to digitization hardware and software and inspiration for meaningful and
long-lasting partnerships.

History
The creation of the Center was approved by the Faculty Senate in November 2014, formalizing long-term collaborations
between faculty from the WSU Libraries and the College of Arts and Sciences. The central goal of the CDSC is to foster the
creation of digital tools, projects, public programming, and educational opportunities for the many publics the University serves
with an emphasis on ethical curation and collaborative scholarship. The work of the faculty, staff and students engaged with the
CDSC focuses on meeting the unique digital challenges and needs of underserved populations nationally.
