What is CDP?

The Collaborative Digitization Program (CDP) is a nonprofit organization that enables access to cultural, historical and scientific heritage collections in the West. The CDP provides assistance to the cultural heritage community through best practice guidelines, workshops and by encouraging collaborative partnerships among museums, libraries, archives and historical societies.

What is BCR?

The Bibliographical Center for Research (BCR) is a nonprofit, multistate library cooperative that has served the library community since its founding in 1935, providing cost-effective library and information services.
