As libraries and archives work to expand access to distinctive collections, they are also confronting persistent challenges: limited digitization capacity, growing processing backlogs, accessibility mandates, fragmented technical infrastructure, and the desire to adopt new technologies responsibly.

Since launching in April 2025, JSTOR Digital Stewardship Services has continued to evolve in response to these needs, bringing together digital asset management, AI-assisted collections processing, long-term preservation, and pathways to discovery on JSTOR. We’ve also just announced new funding opportunities for digitization support through a generous grant from the Mellon Foundation. Today, the JSTOR Stewardship community includes over 350 participating institutions from around the world, including more than 60 institutions that are part of the growing charter community using JSTOR Seeklight.

Join us to hear from colleagues who are using these tools and will be sharing what they are learning, as well as hear what is next for JSTOR Stewardship. This will be an interactive conversation, with time to learn from JSTOR and from colleagues working through similar priorities at their own institutions.

Space is limited. Please register by November 12, 2026, to secure your spot. We look forward to seeing you!
