Member Story: UT Southwestern to digitize medical images
The UT Southwestern Medical Center Library received a $25,000 Historic Preservation and Digitization Award from the National Network of Libraries of Medicine-South Central Region to create a digital photo repository entitled Dallas Medical Images, 1890-1975. The hundreds of photos in the collection document the history of medicine in the Dallas area and will make these important historical materials accessible online.
UT Southwestern will use its TDL Repository as a preservation tool for the project, storing uncompressed master files of the images in DSpace that will be preserved in the TDL Preservation Network. Read on to learn more about this exciting project. >>>
