Projects

The DSG works with projects in multiple ways. For example, we install and maintain websites for many partners, using the CERES platform [1]. We may also help partners in a more intensive manner, to digitize and develop digital collections, website architecture, TEI schemas, metadata standards, and more.

The DSG would also appreciate updates on projects to include the most current information on our website. To provide updates, please complete an Annual Check-In [2].
