UPEI Digitization Facility

Robertson Library Digitization Facility

The digitization facility at the University of PEI is a state-of-the-art facility capable of digitizing most print and microform documents. The Library will be using this facility to create a comprehensive collection of Prince Edward Island's print as well as rich media heritage. The Library's partners and external agencies (with a focus on Atlantic Canada) who wish to digitize similar material and make it freely available would also be able to make use of the facility. If you would like to work with the Robertson Library on digitizing content with an Atlantic Canadian theme, please contact Mark Leggott, University Librarian (902-566-0460, mleggott@upei.ca).
