DP Studio landing pads / Project Liberty Alliance
Invitation to weigh in
Dpla
We opened a landing pad for Dpla from public work, not a mission paraphrase.
Dpla publishes citable work we could quote (The Family Research Guide to DPLA). This briefing is a hypothesis built from those sources. Tell us if we misread the research, add papers we missed, and weigh in on Desirable Properties tied to that work.
If you represent Dpla, confirm the source URLs, then open the Desirable Properties tab and leave a patch idea where the property text misses what your public work already argues.
Research and policy only change the rule-set when it is linked to original sources. Help us keep this pad tied to your papers and reports, not a press-release summary.
Public packet only. Hypothesis marks stay until you confirm sources. Each Alliance member gets a different pitch so we can experiment. Your pad is https://desirableproperties.org/pad/dp (hyphens optional). Direct link to this tab: https://desirableproperties.org/pad/dp?tab=values
Stated mission
Our collection, with items from many institutions, offers a unique research resource for family historians and genealogists.
