Description
An account of the resource
In his introduction to Understanding Digital Humanities, David Berry traces the history of digital humanities—an evolving method and theory of interpreting the effects of digitization and computation on society and culture, while simultaneously adopting and inventing computational processes for guiding its nascent discipline. Notable scholars and pathfinders in the field were selected to write the essays featured in this book, which illuminate fundamental and often controversial issues of the digital humanities,. These issues include the relationship between computation and literacy, aesthetics, gender studies, and the invention and application of data mining tools for interpreting vast quantities of cultural data.
Of particular interest to the digital archivist is the Jussi Parikka’s essay, “Archives in Media Theory: Material Media Archaeology and Digital Humanities.” Parikka believes the archive offers a basis for theory and theoretical backing for digital humanities work, especially studies that focus on calculating effects and representing patterns. The non-narrative, non-discursive, and database logic of the archive presents a digital space, a metaphor, and a method for ingesting and interpreting the vast amount of information transmitted daily through digital media. By breaking down the study of digital media and culture into a study of the digital object’s materiality, its purposes, its historical and cultural context, and its representation and preservation, the archive as method becomes apparent—an apt metaphor Berry uses to describe the Internet’s resources, the “new infinite archive.”
Digital archivists will also find the final chapter, “Transdisciplinarity and Digital Humanities: Lessons Learned from Developing Text-Mining Tools for Textual Analysis” by Yu-Wei Lin, useful for promoting collaborative efforts between software engineers and humanists, and for extending the reach of archives into scholarly research and knowledge creation.

Salman Rushdie Discusses Creativity and Digital Scholarship with Erika Farr
Subject

Description
An account of the resource
Erika Farr, digital archives coordinator for Emory University’s MARBL (Manuscripts and Rare Books Library), interviewed Salman Rushdie, noted author and Emory University’s Distinguished Professor, in a compelling, lengthy discussion regarding writing and computers, and the university’s recent acquisition and digitization of Rushdie’s works. Rushdie’s archive includes his Apple computers and disks as well as print-based journals, drawings, and other unpublished items. Rushdie explained his original purpose for donating this hybrid collection was in response to a professor’s invitation to allow the university to house and preserve his works. Serendipitously, Rushdie was also writing his memoir and discovered through the collaborative process of selecting items to be published against those which would remain hidden to protect family privacy, that not only were his memories prodded, but they were corrected as well. Farr concurred with Rushdie’s acknowledgement of the greater fragility of digital data and cited the digitization and frequent migration of the archive countered the old custom of “benign neglect,” (storing items in places where they remain unused and forgotten).
Rushdie shared insight into the different types of technologies used for writing (from typewriters to Twitter) and despite making his notes and sketches available to public, he maintained the solitary nature and depth of concentration characteristic of his generation of writers.

Making Digital Cultures: Access, Interactivity, and Authenticity
Subject

Description
An account of the resource
Hand investigates political and economic power, digital technologies, and culture. Although he does not cite digitization as a cause of decentering economies or other cultural changes he does acknowledge broad trends related to digitization. One of the trends discussed is the increasing invisibility of the “infrastructure of contemporary digital culture.” Networks of information, in order to maintain speed and efficiency, conform to a logic that “atomizes the subject.” Hand explores the effects of digitization, including the logic of speed, as they pertain to access, interactivity, and authenticity. Access and interactivity address the fragmentation and customization of both digital technologies and societies, implying a decentralization of power and the illusion of greater choice. Authenticity illuminates contemporary society’s transition from predominantly analog to digital technologies and the subsequent replacement of notions of the “real” and “hyper real.” Participation in Web 2.0 platforms is illusory and belies the underlying commodification of information and inauthentic claims of democracy.
The significance of Hand’s text for building and assessing digital archives is found in his discussion of authenticity and the challenges experienced by public archives in their attempts to balance demands for access with conflicting standards and principles of provenance and intellectual property rights.

An account of the resource
Author and archivist Frederick Stielow reviews fundamental principles and practices of archiving and outlines the technical steps and intellectual rationale for adding metadata, developing encoding schemas, and designing the web interface. Of particular interest to builders and managers of digital archives are the guidelines for preparing collections for deep and surface web searching. Encoding finding aids according to technological and professional standards may ensure long-term preservation but may or may not represent culturally appropriate or fully accessible content for a larger public. A thorough understanding of the content's cultural as well as technical properties should inform the vocabulary, encoding, description, and representation of the digitized artifacts.

Archivist, Audra Yun, illuminates several fundamental digital archiving issues in her blog and provides critical commentary for the many conferences and workshops she attends. In her most recent entry, "The present and future of audiovisual archives: Screening the Future 2012, Los Angeles," she discusses critical archiving issues including: challenges of digital preservation and updating metadata for researching audio-visual data, social implications of personal digital archiving, and using digital archives as critical reading and media literacy. Yun embeds links to the diverse digital archives, software tools, and web sites of the presenters she features in her blogs, including her own publications and presentations. Her belief that "most primary sources belong in the hands (or on the screens) of users," and her mission as an archivist to "add context and longevity" to records of historic value are both evident in the information and educational service her blog provides its users.

Description
An account of the resource
<p>The EVIA Digital Archive Project is a collection of digitized, unedited videos representing ethnographic research and corresponding scholarly documentation. EVIA’s video content poses challenges similar to those of other digital archives including establishing the infrastructure for migration and long-term preservation of the item. However, the EVIA project has had to develop standards specific to preserving video formats and also to integrate its peer review management and stylistic conventions for publishing scholarly documentation. The EVIA project, therefore, illuminates the importance for designing metadata schemas and preservation infrastructure specific to the content and purpose of the archive. EVIA’s combination of an open-ended collection of ethnographic material with scholarly publication requires extensive peer review before uploading the content—atypical for most digital archiving projects. The preservation of content is closely integrated with its scholarly purpose and is of value, not only to the public, but also for the academic careers and continuing revisions by the scholarly community. Thus, peer review and preservation of content are key functions of EVIA, that despite causing delays in accessing the rich material, has resulted in innovative software and standards for preserving ethnographic videos.</p>

Subject

Digital humanities
Description
An account of the resource
Rice University’s “Our America’s Archive Partnership,” (OAAP), is an aggregation of diverse resources chronicling the history and culture of the Americas. In this article, Rice University professor, Melissa Bailar, discusses the scholarly and technical benefits that students and faculty receive as participants in this digital archiving project. She attributes enhanced technical skills, teaching, and the abilities to critique and conduct scholarly research to the hands-on experience of digitizing texts and developing the archive’s structure. Undergraduate and graduate students work alongside librarians, humanities scholars, and computer programmers, thereby fostering an interdisciplinary and collaborative atmosphere. This environment also supports the diverse content and contributions made by the sponsoring institutions including the University of Maryland, the Instituto Mora, and Rice University. Sensitivity to cultural differences and provenance of a particular collection is incorporated, for example, in the search fields, visual representation, and interface designed for that collection. In addition to fostering shared knowledge across disciplines, the OAAP maximizes an individual’s potential for expertise and scholarly recognition. By adopting the “craftwork” model, participants conduct both the transcription and encoding of texts and therefore, become more perceptive of context and historical and cultural nuance. Allowing individual researchers to gain a holistic perspective and accumulating knowledge facilitates enhanced scholarship. Bailar observes that the participating students and scholars are “shaping future research resources” as a result of both collaboration and individual research.

Pedagogy
Description
An account of the resource
Close readings of literary texts afford the student opportunities for isolating and analyzing elements of text, thereby revealing cultural and stylistic influences of author, printer, and society. Digitization of print facilitates close reading by providing the student access to extensive collections throughout different eras and cultures. Upon careful reading, comparison, and reflection, students perceive the significance of changes in the structure, overall form, and style of the text. Joanne Diaz, author and professor of English, discusses the benefits of using the Early English Books Online archive with undergraduate students. By sharing her students’ close readings and subsequent discoveries into textuality and effects of, say punctuation, on the meaning and purpose of a text, Diaz also provides a pedagogical function of the digital archive.

Description
An account of the resource
The study of digital humanities is in transition as it adapts its origins in computation and textual analysis to the media-specific analysis and cultural conventions of emerging digital technologies. In this text, Matthew Gold gathers the varying perspectives and critical issues debated by notable digital humanities scholars, who present the reader with fundamental differences and potential areas of research. Debatable issues include defining the digital humanities and theorizing its discipline as method or as evidence of a larger, socio-cultural phenomenon. Whether digital humanists are defined by their “building” and “hacking” skills as opposed to merely adapting digital technologies to traditional humanistic study, and to what degree cultural attitudes toward race and politics become embedded in software codes and interfaces are questions that challenge these digital humanities scholars and practitioners as they also grapple with tenure-driven constraints to practice traditional scholarship.
Another distinguishing characteristic of Debates in the Digital Humanities is the inclusion of blogs and tweets. These contemporary forums of intellectual exchange demonstrate a medium most apt for identifying and discovering the social as well as technical milieu in which digital humanists operate. Gold appropriately includes the blogs to reiterate the intertwinement of digital media (i.e. social networking) and disciplinary theory and practice.
