The DPLA will demonstrate how powerful and exciting it can be to bring together our nation\u2019s digitized materials, metadata (including catalog records, for instance), code, and digital tools and services into an open, shared resource. Imagine the ability to access a vastly larger set of materials than ever before, both through a single web portal and through your local library, which has carefully curated a subset of the national database.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Several collections from Georgia institutions are a part of this launch, with more to be added over time. These include the <a href=\"http:\/\/album.atlantahistorycenter.com\/store\/Category\/438-gay-bolling-shepperson-photographs.aspx\">Gay Bolling Shepperson photographs<\/a> from the Atlanta History Center; the <a href=\"http:\/\/dlg.galileo.usg.edu\/liberty_ships\/\">Ships for Victory<\/a> collection from the Brunswick-Glynn County Library (hosted by the DLG); and the earliest known <a href=\"http:\/\/dlgmedia1-www.galib.uga.edu\/brown\/webm\/Baseball_production.webm\">plantation baseball film<\/a>, from the Walter J.
