This toolkit is for sustainability planning among communities creating and maintaining digital collections: digital community archives, digital humanities projects, Web and social media archives, etc.
This toolkit also supports alternative models of partnership between communities and libraries, archives, and museums as they work together to sustain a rich, distributed cultural record.
Here are the tools we offer:
A template and conceptual framework for helping communities plan how to engage stakeholder groups
A searchable database of examples of community/institutional partnerships, organized by approaches and objectives
Mutual Sustainability Framework
A framework and worksheet for planning reciprocal benefits to stakeholder communities
A compilation of valuable resources from other projects to guide community-centered sustainability planning and partnerships
