New York Heritage is a web portal for educators, historians, genealogists, students, and researchers who are interested in learning more about the people, places, and institutions of New York State. The site provides free access to more than 170 distinct digital collections, totaling hundreds of thousands of items. Items in New York Heritage are also added to the Digital Public Library of America via the Empire State Digital Network, DPLA's hub for New York State. DPLA is a discovery tool that provides access to digital content held by the nation's archives, libraries, museums, and other cultural heritage institutions. In this webinar, you will learn about New York Heritage and DPLA, how cultural organizations digitize their collections and make them available in New York Heritage & DPLA, and how to use both sites to access digitized historical content.
