Under the terms of the partnership agreement between WSU MASC and WSU Marketing
Communications, the Libraries will provide CONTENTdm workstations, training, metadata support, and
server space for the database. WSU Marketing Communications is adding to the database digital images
(both scans and photographs from digital cameras) taken by the campus photographers. WSU Marketing
Communications is also entering metadata and designing a contextual client for the collection in
consultation with the Libraries. After the images are removed from the active digital photograph, they
will be transferred to MASC. Over the last thirty years, photographers from WSU Marketing
Communications has donated their visual materials to MASC and these gifts form the core of MASC’s
extensive campus visual collection. This project also represents the first time MASC will actively support
and maintain digitally born collections.
