Here's an example from one state in the USA: the NJ Digital Highway 
(started in 2005):
http://www.njdigitalhighway.org/
"The principal grant partner organizations who are collaborating to 
develop the New Jersey Digital Highway are:
	 Rutgers University Libraries
	 New Jersey State Library
	 New Jersey Division of Archives & Records Management
	 The New Jersey Historical Society
	 American Labor Museum/Botto House National Landmark

NJDH was conceived, promoted and developed as a grass roots effort by 
cultural heritage organizations throughout New Jersey. NJDH's 
governance reflects its broad-based support and collaborative 
structure."

I'm finding it useful for locating material for an exhibition on New 
Jersey medicine.
