This session highlights the best practices, workflows, and lessons learned to achieve successful, grant-funded, collaborative projects aimed at engaging the community with local history and effecting policy change undertaken by three representatives of the Digital Library of Tennessee, the Volunteer State's DPLA service hub. The place-based projects that rely on collaborative community partnerships to address social and economic justice issues through digital libraries include Middle Tennessee State University's (MTSU) Teaching with Primary Sources, the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga's (UTC) Chattanooga Women's Oral History Project, and Rhodes College's OutMemphis, Neighborhood History, and American Soul Music projects. Session attendees will learn tips to attract administrative support and funding, management strategies, and lessons learned to build their own community collaborations aimed at affecting positive change through the creation of socially-engaged digital repositories.
