Questions Prior to Implementation:
The purpose of the DC is to “provide long-term preservation and high-quality access to the Institute’s digital resources.”
The Digital Collections is primarily a searching, preservation, and access tool for our collections. The mapping we’re talking about seems like it could be a storytelling or a research interpretation tool.
What questions do we want our users to be able to answer by having this feature? Knowing this first will help us answer logistical questions about the interface.
