“…This project also draws upon recent scholarship documenting the role that information and communication technologies can play in creating cultures of transparency (Bertot, Jaeger, and Grimes 2010;Star, Bowker, and Neumann 2003). Furthermore, our work is shaped by scholarship on the roles and responsibilities of libraries and archives in the digital age (Conway 2015;Daigle 2012;Landis and Chandler 2013;Lewis 2013;MacNeil and Mak 2007;Ziegenfuss and Furse 2016). By openly describing our project creation, institutional and cross-institutional challenges, leadership decisions, funding, and organizational and technological change, we hope this article will become part of a larger national conversation about how to frame more equitable and open collaborations among academic libraries, Native Americans, and tribal institutions.…”

In libraries and archives, efforts to document underrepresented communities and diversify collections can be fraught with political tension. We explore an interdepartmental collaboration to create and preserve a digital collection documenting the Urban Native Relocation Program of the mid-to late-twentieth century in Grand Rapids, Michigan. Involving the Grand Valley State University Libraries, the Kutsche Office of Local History, and the university's Native American Advisory Board, the project serves as a model not just for collaborative collection development but also for community engagement and outreach. We find that process is as important as product in developing collaborative digital collections.

Digitization of content generated by those in academia-be they professors, lecturers, or administrative staff-has had a significant impact on the amount of space needed for storage on college and university campuses. What this paper attempts to address is some of the emerging technologies used for the storage of digital content and how these technologies have evolved since their origin with the American Memory Project in 1989, which is widely credited with starting the digital revolution in storage that is commonplace in offices and centers of higher education throughout the United States. The library's role in developing electronic storage for their own archival materials has had an ancillary effect in the field of digitization. The advances made by some libraries in creating more expansive storage devices that hold content other than text has benefited those in other fields as well.
