BC ELN-BCHDP Support Service¶

The BC ELN-BCHDP Support Service is provided by staff at the BC Electronic Library Network (BC ELN), British Columbia's consortium of post-secondary libraries.

Our staff have years of experience helping small organizations participate in the provincial library services we run. We leverage this expertise to support small galleries, libraries, archives and museums (GLAMs) in providing public access to digitized content.

The BC ELN-BCHDP Support Service can help you:

apply for a BCHDP grant to digitize your materials
plan your digitization project
host your digitized materials in the Arca provincial digital repository
- perform batch upload of your digitized materials to Arca
- customize the display of your collection (within Arca guidelines)
- publicize your Arca collection

This support is available to BCHDP grant applicants at no cost through to 2027 thanks to a partnership between BC ELN and the Irving K. Barber Learning Centre at UBC.
