Chelcie Juliet Rowell

Ask me about implementing standardized rights statements and contributing to collaborative collections like the Digital Public Library of America (DPLA) and Google Books.

My career’s throughline is making digital special collections findable and usable for the purposes of scholarship, teaching, learning, artistic practice, and personal use. At Harvard Library, I’m a practitioner-manager. Our team, Digital Collections Discovery, has expertise in digital collection development and sustainability, copyright, metadata, and service design and management. In strong partnership with other units, we design, implement, and maintain infrastructure for digital collections and exhibitions based on deep engagement with users.
