Collaborating on a Digital Music Archive: U-M's contributions to the Sounding Spirit Digital Library
In 2020, the Emory Center for Digital Scholarship in Atlanta, Georgia reached out to the University of Michigan to contribute to the Sounding Spirit Digital Library (SSDL). They asked the Bentley Historical Library, the U-M Library, and the William L. Clements Library to contribute titles in our collections that would expand their digital collection. This post looks at the range of titles contributed, discusses the equipment used to digitize the titles, and analyses the ways that SSDL and U-M Library align and vary in their digitization efforts.
