Digitisation at UWA
UWA Collected is part of the University's strategy to digitise significant collections and make them discoverable.
The Digitisation Centre of Western Australia (DCWA) is an innovative collaboration to digitise the major Humanities, Arts and Social Sciences collections held across the state. Once digitised, UWA’s collections are stored and preserved in UWA Collected, discoverable by communities and researchers around the world. Where we have permission or copyright clearance to do so, we make the content of the collections available for anyone to view online.
