| Summary: | <p class="bigFirst">The success of the online projects of the Earl Gregg Swem Library’s Special Collections Research Center (SCRC) has been built utilizing open-source platforms. Our three primary online resources, the SCRC Collections Database ( <a href="http://scrc.swem.wm.edu%29"> http://scrc.swem.wm.edu) </a> , the W&M Digital Archive ( <a href="http://digitalarchive.wm.edu"> http://digitalarchive.wm.edu </a> ), and the Civil War Transcription Project ( <a href="http://scrcdigital.swem.wm.edu"> http://scrcdigital.swem.wm.edu </a> ), would not have been possible on a traditional subscription model. While open-source platforms are not the panacea for libraries and archival repositories, they can be used to great effect.</p>
