The Digital Scholarship Commons (DiSC) is pleased to announce the selection of three new projects, funded by the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, that will be the focus of our work during the 2012-2013 academic year. The projects will be closely connected with the Library, its collections at the Manuscript, Archives, and Rare Book Library (MARBL), and its staff as a whole.
I had the good fortune to attend THATCamp CHNM last week and it was awesome!!!
After a day long English language nerd field trip, I arrived at THATCamp CHNM. The workshops offered were wonderful and I’m super confident about my Omeka and newly acquired Viewshare skills. I particularly enjoyed the mobile apps workshop which made something seemingly beyond my scope of learning, all the more accessible. Thanks Mike!
From 4:30-6:00 pm on Wednesday, April 4, the Digital Scholarship Commons will host a DiSCussion with Dr. Lauren Klein, Assistant Professor in Georgia Tech's School of Literature, Communication, and Culture. The event is titled "Archival Silence, Digital Humanities, and James Hemings."
On Friday, April 6, The Digital Scholarship Commons will host a Symposium on Disability and Technology. The symposium is intended to connect the digital humanities with disability studies. While access is often discussed in the digital humanities, few scholars really look at the cultural and social impact of new technologies on disabled persons and communities.
It's that time of the year again: the Day of the Life of the Digital Humanities or Day of DH. As has been the case since 2009, hundreds of digital humanities practitioners will take to the blogs and Twitter (follow #dayofDH) to talk about what they do throughout a single day's work. The goals of the project are various, but among them are highlighting the wide array of activities that fall under the banner of DH. It also doesn't hurt to sometimes remind people who wonder if college professors work hard enough exactly what we do with our time.
The Next Generation of the Digital Classics Collaboration: Perseus Project’s New Plan by Jong Hwan Lee (PhD Candidate in Philosophy, Woodruff Fellow, Emory Libraries)
On March 20, Perseus Digital Library, which assembles digital collections of Greek and Roman resourses, announced plans to promote online collaboration.
Perseus announces plans to decentralize the curation, annotation, and general editing of the TEI XML texts that it hosts. Ultimately this will include every textual object in Perseus, allowing individuals to modify (where rights allow), and to create new, dictionary and encyclopedia entries, translations, commentaries, introductions, as well as machine actionable annotations such as identifications of people and places and the morpho-syntactic analyses in the Greek and Latin Treebanks.
It is hard to tell from the prototype youtube clips what the actual and final outlook of this change would be like. But I think there are lots of potential for this new plan.
The Digital Scholarship Commons (DiSC), with generous funding from the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, is excited to announce that it is seeking applications for a new round of digital scholarship projects to begin development in summer 2012. Successful proposals will receive a small budget (up to $8,000), dedicated technical support, and project management.
From 4:30-6:00 pm on Wednesday, April 4, the Digital Scholarship Commons will host a DiSCussion with Dr. Lauren Klein, Assistant Professor in Georgia Tech's School of Literature, Communication, and Culture. The event is titled "Archival Silence, Digital Humanities, and James Hemings."
