Mountain West Digital Library
The Mountain West Digital Library (MWDL) is a centralized discovery portal for digital resources from libraries, archives, museums, government agencies, and historical societies in the Mountain West region of the United States.〔"Mountain West Digital Library homepage" http://mwdl.org〕 MWDL aggregates metadata from these memory institutions and provides online access to their cultural heritage and scholarly resources at http://mwdl.org. The MWDL provides services to a widespread digital library community and serves as the regional service hub to the Digital Public Library of America for Utah, Nevada, Idaho, Arizona, Montana, and Hawaii.〔Meet the Hubs!: Mountain West Digital Library on the DPLA website http://dp.la/info/2013/02/04/meet-the-hubs-mountain-west-digital-library/〕〔What Is the DPLA?

==History==
The Mountain West Digital Library was formed in 2001 as a program of the Utah Academic Library Consortium (UALC).〔Utah Academic Library Consortium homepage http://www.ualc.net/〕 Members of UALC created the Mountain West Digital Library to provide one-stop searching for users to access the digital collections of UALC institutions, including the University of Utah, Brigham Young University, Utah State University, Southern Utah University, and others.〔Partnering with the Mountain West Digital Library Webinar https://video.utah.edu/media/t/0_86ktw014〕 The MWDL has grown from its original Utah roots to offer services to memory institutions in Nevada, Arizona, Idaho, Montana, and Hawaii as well. (Hawaii is included because of Brigham Young University-Hawaii’s affiliation with the Provo, Utah-based Brigham Young University.)
Founding goals also include developing standards and best practices for interoperability, sharing professional expertise and equipment, and assisting new partners beginning to digitize their archives and special collections. By leveraging the distributed MWDL network of hosting hubs and digitization centers, smaller memory institutions are able to work with larger ones to upload digital resources online, increasing the visibility of their collections and reducing wear and tear on fragile items.
In 2013, the Mountain West Digital Library was selected as one of the six inaugural service hubs of the Digital Public Library of America, the national digital library of the United States.〔Meet the Hubs!: Mountain West Digital Library on the DPLA website http://dp.la/info/2013/02/04/meet-the-hubs-mountain-west-digital-library/〕 MWDL participates in the DPLA's Digital Hubs Pilot Project (2012-2015) and the Public Library Partnerships Project (2013-2015).
