The Digital Library Center

The Digital Library Center hosts the UF Digital Collections (UFDC), which has millions of pages, hundreds of thousands of items, and over a hundred collections and subcollections.

UFDC is both a set of digital collections and the core infrastructure powering the collections. UFDC refers to both the collections hosted by UF and the internally designed, hosted, and supported technology that powers those collections, including the Digital Library of the Caribbean and the Caribbean Newspaper Digital Library (both are international collaboratives) as well as the State-wide Florida Digital Newspaper Library.

Each of UFDC's collections, items, and pages represent far more than any statistic could capture. With rare children's literature books, unique manuscripts and letters, antique maps, museum objects, herbarium specimens, photographs, oral histories, architectural drawings, recordings of speeches and songs, videos of performances, and more, UFDC offers individual and collective wonders. The collective value enables new research and discovery through the collection of large sets of materials and information, accessible from anywhere in the world. Over two hundred versions of Robinson Crusoe; over a million pages of Florida and Caribbean newspapers; and over 6,000 photographs from the University of Florida Archives are significant for each of their items and as their co-located, browseable, and cross-searchable sets.

In addition to supporting existing collections and materials in UFDC, the Digital Library Center is also a digitization facility. It is the primary contributor to all of the collections in and hosted by UFDC, adding more unique materials regularly. The Digital Library Center also supports collaborative and innovative projects.

The largest and most utilized UFDC collections are:

Digital Library Center Digitization

The Digital Library Center is among the largest digitization facilities in the southeastern United States. The Center is the hosting and technical partner for the Digital Library of the Caribbean (dLOC) and the Caribbean Newspaper Digital Library, two collaborative digital libraries partnering Florida and Caribbean cultural and scientific institutions. Past projects have been funded by the National Endowment for the Humanities; Andrew W. Mellon Foundation; Department of Education; National Historical Publications and Records Commission; the Institute for Museum and Library Services; Florida’s LSTA program; and private endowments. Our brochure includes more information on collections and programs.
