FORMATION OFMISSOURI HUB
We want our content to reach as wide an audience as possible
We want Missouri’s cultural heritage organizations to be part of a national dialogue on 21 s t century scholarship Participate in & lead discussions
We want to see Missouri accurately represented in a large national repository Early content in DPLA told a random story about Missouri
But what about Missouri Digital Heritage? Could it be the Service Hub?...
WHY CREATE A SERVICE HUB FOR MISSOURI?
