In January 2005 METRO launched Digital Metro New York, a collaborative effort to support digitization projects involving significant collections held by METRO member libraries in New York City and Westchester County. This initiative is supported in part by funds from the New York State Regional Bibliographic Databases Program.
Since 2005, METRO has awarded over $570,000 in grants to support 51 digital projects. In 2013, METRO will support new projects with approximately $70,000 in grant funding.
For more information please contact Anne Karle-Zenith, METRO's Digital Services Manager.
