The University of Denver (DU) Libraries have a strong history in digitization. Several iterations of various repositories and organizational structures through the last decade have informed a concerted effort to build a sustainable approach to digital collections work, and our resulting, nascent efforts to join the Plains-To-Peaks Collective in DPLA. For an institution that is perhaps too large to settle for easy solutions, but not always large enough to maintain development efforts at scale, sustainability is crucial. This presentation gives a brief history of digital efforts at DU and offers a case-study in “just right” sustainability: from an administrator’s perspective.
