UM Libraries now accepting digitization project proposals

Make content more broadly accessible online

May 23, 2025 — 

The UM Libraries new Digitization Centre is currently accepting proposals from any UM faculty, student, or staff member interested in making content more broadly accessible online. Materials proposed for digitization can be from the Libraries collections or materials provided by the UM community that meet the Libraries criteria for digitization. 

Some of the benefits of digitizing with the Libraries include: 

  • Materials are easier to share with students or colleagues, 
  • Materials are available to a larger audience, and 
  • Materials are easier to adapt for the creation of open educational resources. 

The Libraries’ Digitization Centre aims to enhance access to Libraries collections and open resources and accepts project proposals to help ensure the Libraries digital collections reflect and support the research interests of the UM community.  

If you are interested in submitting a project proposal for digitization, read more about the submission criteria and process and submit a digitization project proposal by Monday, June 30, 2025 

For questions, contact digitization@umanitoba.ca
