PA Digital is made up of staff members from institutions across the state who serve on various teams within the project. A team at Temple University Libraries currently maintains ongoing operations, including quarterly harvests to the Digital Public Library of America (DPLA). PA Digital’s Metadata Team and Rights Subgroup provide leadership and guidance regarding best practices in the community for current and prospective contributing institutions.
