Proceedings from the 2022 Digitizing Hidden Collections Symposium capture how digitized “hidden collections” can be activated for liberatory and educational purposes. They contextualize CLIR’s hidden-collections initiatives across CHC, DHC, and DHC:AUV, describing milestone gatherings and the shift from planned in-person meetings to an online 2020 event, then back to a 2022 Baltimore symposium. Contributions address workflow and selection design, copyright, privacy, cultural competency, and practical approaches for digitization across diverse collections.

Many have contributed to these programs as applicants, reviewers, and program officers, and these contributions have been instrumental in helping CLIR’s regranting activities evolve to become responsive and forward-facing. Opportunities to meet in person to share, reflect on, and celebrate accomplishments have created significant milestones along the path toward a clear and currently relevant mission. An early symposium for CHC recipients took place in Washington, DC, in 2010, followed by another in Philadelphia, PA, in 2015.
