Shared in our Digital Collections, our projects are aimed at collecting and creating new primary source materials that document some aspect of local or regional history. These projects provide learning and professional opportunities for Grand Valley students and contribute to the corpus of historical materials available for research.

The University Libraries collaborate with GVSU partners on a number of Digital Projects to create and collect oral histories, images, and documents that will add to the corpus of historical research materials available online.

Digital Project partners will be asked to collaborate in the University Libraries' planning process, and sign a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) which will outline the scope and contents of the project, define the responsibilities of each project partner, and set project timelines and goals. Selection of digital projects is subject to the Library's Digital Collection Development Policy.
