Discover the NJ/DE Digital Collective on DPLA

The New Jersey/Delaware Digital Collective (NJ/DE Digital Collective) is a service hub, through collaboration between local libraries, museums, and cultural heritage organizations, to the Digital Public Library of America (DPLA), providing seamless access to a rich collection of digital resources from across the region.

This collaboration opens new opportunities and seeks to make it easy for our partners to share their unique local resources for exploration, research, and education.
