J. Decker @RITmuse

Followup from NCPH 2015, Nashville Working Group   My thanks are extended to Chris Cantwell and Lauren Tilton, who have been serving as Guest Editors for the focus issue forthcoming from the journal Collections that will address “collections in a digital age.” Chris, Lauren, and I have worked over the past six months to conceptualize this publication, which stems from our conversations last April, as well as musings and thoughts on issues and insights related to collections and the digital age. We are pleased to present a draft table of contents:
