We Want You! To be a DHNow Editor-at-Large
As part of our efforts to produce a crowdsourced digital humanities publication, volunteer Editors-at-Large helped us publish Digital Humanities Now over the summer. They did such a great job that we are currently recruiting additional Editors-at-Large for the rest of 2012. Editors-at-Large monitor the work of the digital humanities community by reviewing aggregated RSS feeds […]
Editors’ Choice: Digital Preservation Pioneer: Anne R. Kenney
“Technology has had most of the attention in digital preservation but it is the least of our concerns,” said Anne R. Kenney. That’s a bold declaration. But Kenney has earned the right to make it, based on her 25 years at Cornell University Library, conducting ground-breaking digital research, creating award-winning training resources and fostering national and […]
Editors’ Choice: More Product, Less Process for Born-Digital Collections: Reflections on CurateCamp Processing
The following is a guest post from Meg Phillips, Electronic Records Lifecycle Coordinator for the National Archives and Records Administration. “What’s the bare minimum I can responsibly do with my electronic stuff?” was one of the central questions on the table at CurateCamp Processing.

Editors’ Choice: What do they have? Alternate Visualizations of Museum Collections
Speaker: Piotr Adamczyk, Metropolitan. Moderator: Noel Jackson. Abstract: Museums are increasingly adopting open data policies, both for easy internal reuse of data sets and as a way of building community engagement online. While the opening up of data is a welcome development, too often key audiences see too little of this information through too small a […]
Editors’ Choice: Another Step in Keeping Pledges
Long-time readers of this blog might remember that, a while ago, I pledged to do pretty much Open Everything. Last week, a friend in my department asked how I managed that without having people steal my ideas. It’s a tough question, and I’m still not certain whether my answer has more to do with idealist naïveté or […]
Editors’ Choice: Where to start with text mining
This post is less a coherent argument than an outline of discussion topics I’m proposing for a workshop at NASSR2012 (a conference of Romanticists). But I’m putting this on the blog since some of the links might be useful for a broader audience. Also, we won’t really cover all this material, so the blog post […]
Editors’ Choice: Sorting and searching at the library
If you ever want to screw over a library, just walk up to any shelf, pick up any book, and put it on another shelf where it doesn’t belong. Eventually a librarian will stumble across it, see that it’s out of place, and pull it off the shelf. Until then, that book is hopelessly lost. […]
Editors’ Choice: Digital Strategy Catches up With the Present: An Interview with Smithsonian’s Michael Edson
For this installment of Insights, the National Digital Stewardship Alliance Innovation Working Group’s ongoing series of interviews, I talk with Michael Edson, the Director of Web and New Media Strategy at the Smithsonian Institution. Edson gave a compelling talk at last year’s NDIIPP/NDSA conference, Let Us Go Boldly into the Present I’m excited to take this chance to talk through and […]
Editors’ Choice: What are some challenges to doing DH in the library?
You may be familiar with the scenario: the faculty member groaning (often justifiably) that it’s taken so long to get one simple project off the ground that she’s given up on trying to work with librarians. Or the administrator who wonders why librarians aren’t trying harder to learn new skills. Having actually done some digital humanities in […]
