We are a small, newly formed digital strategies division that works at the intersection of digital initiatives, digital scholarship, and discovery. Our work aims to build sustainable, standardized, and well-documented practices for digitization, access, and discovery that will serve as the foundation for diverse, inclusive, and ethical digital library practices. Building on the work of our colleagues in Special Collections and Libraries’ 2017 CLIR Digitizing Hidden Collections Grant to digitize and make discoverable California Water documents, our team aims to bolster their work with those materials through the support of a 2020 Collections as Data grant. This presentation will provide an overview of the burgeoning evolution of our digital library program through the lens of our current “Surfacing hidden water data: Water, people, displacement in Southern California” grant project.
