New Mellon Foundation grant supports JSTOR Digital Stewardship Services charter institutions to expand public access to distinctive collections

JSTOR recently announced that the Mellon Foundation will provide funding for a new JSTOR Digital Stewardship Services initiative that will help libraries and archives create a more public future for their distinctive collections by supporting a fuller pathway from digitization to long-term impact.

The initiative will allow new and existing JSTOR Stewardship charter participants to receive direct funding support for digitization, then use the full Stewardship infrastructure to move materials into broader discovery and use: processing at scale with JSTOR Seeklight and publishing openly on JSTOR, where collections become discoverable in a widely used research and teaching environment.
