The Library has engaged in partnerships with a number of institutions to broaden access to collections that were previously hidden, inaccessible, or hard to come by.
The Library worked with the Yosemite National Park Library, and the Yosemite National Park Archives to digitize and provide access to a series of panoramic photographs of Yosemite National Park. UC Merced researchers have used the resulting images in their work.
