About CDP

BCR’s CDP stands for the Collaborative Digitization Program, a division of BCR focused on helping museums, libraries and cultural heritage institutions keep pace with changes in digital and archived information. We provide extensive collaborative resources and solutions to support your staff as you begin or broaden your digitization projects. By partnering with BCR, your institution will have access to digitization and digital projects training, digital project management, best practices, teacher solutions and special projects tools. CDP helps your institution discover, share and experience the benefits of digitization.

Digital technology allows us to visit collections and see crucial materials we might otherwise fail to notice, hear things we might otherwise fail to acknowledge and learn from those who came before about our past, our present and possibilities for our future.

The photographs, maps, documents, sound recordings and objects held by our partner museums, libraries and archives offer a rich and insightful glimpse into human culture. The Digital Toolbox offers a myriad of resources to convert analog materials to digital formats, and our Teacher Toolbox provides a wealth of lesson plans and links to primary sources designed specifically for classroom use.
