Institute of Museum and Library Services: Digital Collections and Content

IMLS: Digital Collections and Content contains descriptions and access to a wealth of digital resources developed by IMLS grantees. Examples of what you will find here include: cookbooks from MSU's Feeding America, theater posters from Colorado State University, prints of samurai fighting demons from the Japanese Prints collection at the UCLA Hammer Museum, war posters from Minnesota's A Summons to Comradeship.
There's also a link to the Civil Rights Digital Library based at the University of Georgia which features 30 hours of imagery captured by Atlanta's WSB and Albany TV station WALB taken between 1948 and 1982. The Web site also is a portal: It links users to 75 other civil-rights-related sites. They range from WGBH in Boston to Emory University, from the Mississippi Department of Archives and History to the Nashville (Tenn.) Public Library.
