These collections provide challenges for metadata creation, collection development policies, workflows, and digital preservation. This paper aims to provide an overview of the Utah COVID-19 digital collection, with a discussion of impact and lessons learned.<\/jats:p>\n<\/jats:sec>\n<jats:sec>\n<jats:title content-type=\"abstract-subheading\">Design\/methodology\/approach<\/jats:title>\n<jats:p>This paper provides a case study of a born-digital collection initiative undertaken at the University of Utah in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. The project prompted engagement with the University of Utah communities and people across the state. Workflows, metadata management and partnerships are discussed, to provide a model for institutions developing similar projects during a time of crisis.<\/jats:p>\n<\/jats:sec>\n<jats:sec>\n<jats:title content-type=\"abstract-subheading\">Findings<\/jats:title>\n<jats:p>While the project was launched with open-ended and flexible goals, the response from the community has been both surprising and gratifying.

Several lessons were learned throughout the project which will be useful for other institutions embarking upon related projects.<\/jats:p>\n<\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1108\/dlp-04-2020-0025","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,7,21]],"date-time":"2020-07-21T10:59:25Z","timestamp":1595329165000},"page":"403-414","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":8,"title":["Documenting contemporary regional history: the Utah COVID-19 digital collection"],"prefix":"10.1108","volume":"36","author":[{"given":"Anna L.","family":"Neatrour","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Jeremy","family":"Myntti","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Rachel J.","family":"Wittmann","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"140","reference":[{"issue":"2","key":"key2020121106463513400_ref001","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"158","DOI":"10.1111\/hir.12307","article-title":"The COVID\u201019 (coronavirus) pandemic: reflections on the roles of librarians and information professionals","volume":"37","year":"2020","journal-title":"Health Information and Libraries Journal"},{"key":"key2020121106463513400_ref002","unstructured":"American Library Association (2020), \u201cLibraries respond: COVID-19 survey results\u201d, American Library Association, May, available at: www.ala.org\/tools\/libraries-respond-covid-19-survey"},{"issue":"111","key":"key2020121106463513400_ref003","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"101","DOI":"10.1215\/01636545-1268731","article-title":"The September 11 digital archive: saving the histories of September 11, 2001","volume":"2011","year":"2011","journal-title":"Radical History Review"},{"key":"key2020121106463513400_ref004","unstructured":"Ettarh, F.
