The DLG serves as a “digital hub” for the developing Digital Public Library of America (DPLA). In this capacity, the DLG (one of seven hubs) will be a pipeline for aggregated data from regional libraries, museums, and archives (read more about the function of these hubs here).

I was glad to spend time this week searching through the collections of the Digital Library of Georgia (DLG). The DLG serves as part of the University of Georgia’s GALILEO initiative.
