We'll be developing tools that Texas libraries and others can freely use to power new and transformative explorations of our digitized cultural heritage, based on the Digital Public Library of America (DPLA) API.

We have activities planned for folks who aren't experienced coders, but please explore the DPLA API and other resources we've put together (http://goo.gl/Hhl9lb) so that you're ready to go!
