Digitization at York University Libraries

York University Libraries does not currently offer digitization services for faculty, students, or staff. However, we can provide consultation and guidance on planning for your own digitization work. If you are planning a grant-funded project that includes digitization, and are looking for in-kind or other resource support from the Libraries, see ourLibrary Support for Grant-Funded Projects page.

The Libraries have created the following open educational resources to support those seeking to embark on a digitization project.

Digitization Standards

York University Libraries adheres to international standards, shared professional practice and consortial policies. For details, see our Digitization Best Practices, as well as our Digital Preservation Action Plans for images, audio, video and web sites.
