About the Digital Library Center

The Digital Library Center provides a forward-thinking system for expanding the George A. Smathers Libraries in the information age. The Digital Library Center operates by digitizing materials, supporting innovative projects that reconceptualize materials, and working on collaborative projects that add to and enhance existing materials.

Materials digitized by the Digital Library Center are online in the UF Digital Collections (UFDC). Our brochure includes more information on collections and programs.

Collections
UFDC's current collection strengths rest in literature for children; maps and aerial photography; newspapers; and Florida and Caribbean studies. Holdings include artifacts, herbarium specimens, photographs, and oral histories, as well as archives, books and journals. These individual collections rely on the Digital Library's strong, core infrastructure and more materials and collections are added regularly. The Digital Library Center also hosts the Digital Library of the Caribbean (dLOC).

Digitization
The Digital Library Center is among the largest digitization facilities in the southeastern United States. The Center is the lead partner for PALMM, a collaborative digital library partnering Florida and Caribbean cultural and scientific institutions. The Center's projects have been funded by the National Endowment for the Humanities; Andrew W. Mellon Foundation; the Institute for Museum and Library Services; Florida’s LSTA program; and private endowments.
