Ohiodigitalnetwork.org</a> marks another major milestone for ODN and follows its March 2018 DPLA debut with collections from eleven Ohio institutions. “The ODN website will give us a local platform to highlight Ohio’s items in DPLA but also serve as a resource
center for institutions working to contribute their materials. We hope that this site will attract and support institutions all across Ohio, and communicate the value of participation in DPLA,” said Johnson.
