Clemson Libraries digital collections team has been around for a decade working to digitize materials for Special Collections, faculty and instructors of Clemson University, institutions in the Upstate of South Carolina, and state and national parks. Visit our website to learn more and to inquire about your own potential digitization projects.
We moved from the basement of Cooper Library out to the Library Depot in 2011 to expand our digitization capabilities. We are able to scan maps, blueprints, most oversize materials up to 60"x40", negatives, 35mm slides, glass plate negatives, photographs, herbarium specimens, documents, book, manuscripts, and much more.
In 2010, we launched the Open Parks Network program which works with the National Park Service to digitize their archive and museum artifacts. We've scanned over 350,000 images and have made a majority of them available online at https://openparksnetwork.org/ .
The mission of the Digital Lab involves the conversion of analog materials, such as manuscripts and university archives found in Special Collections, to digital; the management of digitized materials and some born-digital media in cloud storage form and on the web; and the cataloging and creation of metadata for those digital objects.
