Call for Projects
Phase 15 (2018-2019)
We are pleased to announce that Phase 15 is now open! As always, we welcome content for Minnesota Reflections on a wide range of topics, as long as the subject matter is in, of, or about Minnesota or Minnesotans.We explicitly encourage submissions that add to the diversity and inclusivity of the historical materials shared in Reflections. We accept many types of materials as well,some examples of which are listed below, so it is likely you have items in your collection that would be a good fit. New for this year is the option to submit materials to become part of a Primary Source Set. Visit our website at mndigital.org/projects/primarysourcesets to see examples of Primary Source Sets and learn more about them.
To become part of the MDL and Reflections for the first time, or to contribute again, please contact MDL Outreach Coordinator Molly Huber at or 612-301-1329/800-462-5348 to discuss your project. Application forms are available online at mndigital.org or by contacting the Outreach Coordinator. We will accept applications until our money for this phase is fully allocated or until May 10, 2019, whichever comes first. We look forward to hearing from you!
About the MDL and Minnesota Reflections
The Minnesota Digital Library (MDL) is a statewide project supported by the people of Minnesota. The purpose of its signature project, Minnesota Reflections is to provide access to collections housed in organizationssuch as libraries, archives, museums, historical societies, and other cultural heritage institutions from across the state in one centralized, easily searchable location, reflections.mndigital.org. To achieve that purpose, the MDL assists these organizations with converting valuable resources to digital formats, sharing digital expertise, and providing access to services such as digital project management, training and assistance in project development, metadata creation, and education in best practices and standards for digitization work. Already have important items digitized? We can add those to Reflections as well - contact the MDL Outreach Coordinator to discuss the possibilities.
