Working with non-traditional partners on digitization initiatives can be full of challenges. As academic libraries, we often see our roles as facilitators and advisers, providing expertise where needed to help achieve the community’s digitization goals.

This presentation will look at how two institutions, Florida State University and Florida International University, accomplished successful digital collections initiatives with non-traditional and historically marginalized communities, where mindful collaboration is essential.
