Research Collections and Preservation Consortium (ReCAP) Expands Scope and Membership

ReCAP, the Research Collections and Preservation Consortium, founded by Columbia University, the New York Public Library, and Princeton University in 2000 to preserve and make accessible the collections of its members, has expanded its scope and membership, transforming its original mission from serving as a shared physical repository to becoming a model for shared collection building and management. In addition to improved access and increased efficiency already achieved through the Shared Collection Service, the ReCAP consortium is exploring collaborative collection building and joint digital initiatives to improve the user experience.
