Open Archives

SWAN can add digital archive collections to your catalog, so that local history collections can be discoverable by patrons. Archives appear in the web catalog but not in the app.

In this page:

Local history collections must use a digital asset management tool (such as CONTENTdm) and support metadata such as Dublin Core, MODS, EAD, or METS. The collections should be open access. The Illinois Digital Archives is a common locally used digital archive. 

If you have local archival content that you would like to add to your catalog please submit a ticket.
