to providing digital preservation services to cultural memory institutions, research organizations, and others that maintain electronic records or digital collections. The MDPN welcomes organizations of all sizes, technical capacity, and financial ability
across Michigan. By concentrating resources and knowledge towards a single effort, the MDPN seeks to reduce redundant efforts in the state and build capacity for more organizations to participate. The MDPN was created by a 2019 Memorandum of Understanding
between the Library of Michigan, Grand Valley State University, Michigan State University, the Midwest Collaborative for Library Services, and Western Michigan University. Current members include Capital Area District Libraries, Eastern Michigan University,
Grand Valley State University, Hillsdale College, Michigan State University, the University of Michigan, Wayne State University, and Western Michigan University.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
