Northwest Digital Heritage (NWDH) — a Washington State Library, Oregon Heritage Commission, and State Library of Oregon partnership — leverages the Washington Rural Heritage project’s existing infrastructure and best practices and makes them available to Oregon-based libraries, museums, and cultural heritage organizations. A complete list of NWDH partner organizations can be found here.

NWDH is funded by Library Services and Technology Act (LSTA) funding from the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS). The Oregon and Washington state libraries administer this funding to enhance library services throughout the region, including providing grant opportunities for libraries. Additional funding is provided through the Oregon Parks and Recreation Department, Oregon Heritage Commission, and Oregon Cultural Trust.

In May 2021, NWDH became a Digital Public Library of America (DPLA) service hub, which enables local cultural institutions — including galleries, libraries, museums, research institutions, historical societies, and others in Oregon and Washington — to upload digital content onto DPLA’s national archive database.
