The WashU Libraries are committed to the mission of being an interactive hub of information resources, expertise, services, and relationships that advance research and learning. To offer the fullest scope of information technology, the Libraries seek to provide access to digitized material and scholarship produced at WashU.

WashU Libraries’ websites for film and media, images, and scholarship offer access to these digital materials. The Libraries have worked with faculty and other partners to create and maintain several online projects and/or collections; access to these is made possible through Washington University’s open-source platforms.
