MDL Digital Preservation Project
During the Fall of 2010 and the Spring of 2011, the Minnesota Digital Library (MDL), using funds from the Arts and Cultural Heritage Fund, developed and implemented a series of projects to begin exploring ways to ensure that the digital content from Minnesota Reflections and other institutions, including the University of Minnesota and the Minnesota Historical Society (MHS), will always be accessible to Minnesotans. Below are the reports of that investigation.
