Hubs • CONTENT HUBS • SERVICE HUBS http://dp.la/info/hubs

Service Hubs “ DPLA service hubs are state, regional, or other collaborations that host, aggregate, or otherwise bring together digital objects from libraries, archives, museums, and other cultural heritage institutions. State and regional hubs agree to collect content that describes their local history, but also content about the US broadly and, when available, international topics. Each service hub offers its partners services that range from professional development, digitization, metadata creation or enhancement, to hosting or metadata aggregation. They may also provide community outreach programs to increase users’ awareness of digital content of local relevance.” “ Service hubs provide DPLA with their partners’ unique metadata records that resolve to digital objects (online texts, photographs, manuscript material, art work, etc.) through a single data feed , such as OAI-PMH. They serve as the point of contact for the maintenance and enhancement of metadata records.” http://dp.la/info/hubs
