Thanks to the following granting agencies for their generous support of our digital projects:

to Share: Interoperability Training for Cultural Heritage Institutions.”
TSLAC is the lead organization for the three-year project to develop
state-wide workshops, adapted from the Library of Congress “Cataloging
for the 21st Century” series, to provide training on interoperability
measures of digitization projects, and principles of sharable metadata
developed in a project previously funded by IMLS.
