The Southern Appalachian Digitial Collections Partnership is committed to building regionally oriented, historically significant collections of broad cultural and research interest, currently containing over 25,000 records of historical and regional significance.

The Partnership needed to provide a strong digital infrastructure in order to extend online access to unique resource materials of the natural and cultural history of Southern Appalachian.

I lead the design and oversaw the production of their new digital platform, aiming to communicate the breadth of content available through narrative-led content in online exhibitions, as well as strong search and filtering functionalities.

The library required being able to search inputs with boolean operators and the ability to combine filtered criteria. The 24 collections can be browsed individually or searched across multiple at once.
