A cooperative agreement between the NEH’s Office of Digital Humanities and Division of Public Programs and the Council on Library and Information Resources (CLIR) to organize a two-day planning workshop in the fall of 2015 to discuss the development of “Openlab,” an organization devoted to developing, testing, and teaching best practices for digital engagement across the museum and library sector.

Openlab is a concept for a solutions lab, convener, and consultancy designed to accelerate the speed and impact of transformational change in galleries, libraries, archives, and museums. The purpose of this proposal is to request funds to develop the Openlab concept through a two-day workshop to be held in Washington, DC, in the fall of 2015.
