The Digital Collections Unit (DCU) fosters the creation of and access to research and scholarly material in digital form from across the University of Minnesota.

We are a reliable and trustworthy in-house digitizer of objects, providing the best quality and most sustainable digital surrogates possible at a reasonable cost. We also seek out digital material, either born or reborn in digital form, which departments, labs, and centers of the University want to share with the world and provide mechanisms for that material to be managed in a shared institutional repository.

To ensure high quality access to the digital objects in our repositories, we develop comprehensive metadata standards for the University and share these with the campus through documentation, training, and project planning. In order to fully use our digitizing capacity, we provide some fee-based scanning services for the University community.
