Title A name given to the resource Everyone Around You Has a Story the World Needs To Hear Subject The topic of the resource Archives Description An account of the resource This TEDtalk outlines Dave Isay, the founder of StoryCorps, argument for the construction of a digital archive that aims to capture the voices, and stories of all of humanity. He argues that by the interview itself becoming the central focus of the work of StoryCorps, instead of focusing on a figure in history, the StoryCorps project aimed to create transformational experiences for participants while collecting and archiving the stories and conversations of others in the Library of Congress. StoryCorps has grown to include well over 100,000 participants, constituting the largest collection of human voices every created. In response to receiving the TED prize he was asked to come up with a brief wish for humanity: “that you will help us take everything we’ve learned through StoryCorps and bring it to the world, so that anyone, anywhere can easily record a meaningful interview with another human being which will then be archived for history.

Title A name given to the resource EVIA Digital Archive Project Subject The topic of the resource Digital humanities 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> Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Indiana University and the University of Michigan.

Title A name given to the resource Exploring Past Images in a Digital Age: Reinventing the Archive Subject The topic of the resource Digital Humanities Description An account of the resource Technology is developing rapidly, and with it, our methods of digital preservation. In the book, <em>Exploring Past Image in a Digital Age: Reinventing the Archive</em>, the question of film and its preservation is brought to the reader’s mind. Film archives cover a wide range of cultural and historical information; they are a valuable asset in research. However, digitization has begun to guide them towards obsolences. Archival digitization must not forget or disregard these resources, which is what the book tackles. Creator Nezih Erdogan implores readers to clear their minds of standard digital archive practices and open themselves up to new strategies to preserve the film archives. The book puts issues with digital archiving under the microscope and picks them apart, but also, provides possible solutions to the problems being discussed. The world is developing at an incredible rate, and our technology must be able to keep up without doing harm or neglecting the past. This book provides the answers and new, radical methods to archivists and researchers concerned with digital humanities and history.

Title A name given to the resource Exploring the Evolution of Access: Classified, Privacy, and Proprietary Restrictions Subject The topic of the resource Copyright Description An account of the resource The three authors of this article discuss three different repositories which house confidential, legally protected content and describe measures each institution takes to balance the archival values of preserving and providing access to its holdings against the equally important archival value of protecting the privacy rights and concerns of its donors. William C. Carpenter recounts the history of declassifying military and government documents and commends the succession of presidential orders that established automatic declassification in response to the ever-growing accumulation of military and government documents. While governments frequently halt declassification of certain documents during crises, such as 9-11, or open documents as in the Abu-Ghraib debacle, the automated declassification system places the onus on the donating agencies for keeping records sealed. Business archives, on the other hand, enjoy greater legal protection for sealing its records from public access. Sara A. Polirer explains U.S. trade laws and property rights consider business records economically valuable assets despite their intangible nature. Because digitization and Internet commerce place marketable ideas at greater risk of copyright infringement, and because economic value is a fundamental factor in writing legislation, business archives must implement policies that promote business needs over the public’s right to know. The archival practice, “due diligence” applies to business archives in the careful classification of content and anticipation of what future researchers may need to know. Health science archives face an especially difficult challenge in balancing the public’s right to know with protecting the privacy of patient records. Judith A. Wiener discusses the rationale for the patient privacy act, HIPAA, and identifies the problems incurred by health related archives ingesting health records. Because HIPAA does not designate time limits (as do military and government declassification regulations), nor does it provide guidelines for reformatting and digitizing health records, health science archives have had to restrict access and impede potential research and scholarship. In response, individual repositories and institutions are developing policies including the redactment of personally identifiable information and inserting time limits to both protect the privacy of the donors while providing access to the historically rich records.

Title A name given to the resource From Digital Library to Open Datasets: Embracing a "Collections as Data" Framework Subject The topic of the resource Web Archiving Description An account of the resource This article, written by four librarians from the University of Utah, introduces us to the idea of “collections as data” as a way to further improve and expand upon digital archiving methods used all over the world today. While librarians and archivists all over the world have digitized their collections and made them accessible online, collections as data is a movement specifically grounded in the digital libraries and digital humanities research area that aims to go beyond allowing access to archival items and include giving researchers access to the underlying data of these items. Myntti, Wittmann, Neatrour, and Cummings state that data such as text mining, topic modeling, sentiment analysis, data visualization and much more should be made easily available with their respective archive collections in order to go “beyond traditional use” of digitized collections. Allowing researchers to have access to the underlying data of collections is important, they state, because typically in digital humanities research, the data collected isn’t as digitally nuanced nor does it provide as much computational-related data as research in other departments like the sciences or social sciences. This is a sharp, intelligent article written by expert researchers explaining somewhat complicated concepts. Although the article is at times difficult, it’s content is important to the overall trajectory of Digital Humanities data and metadata.

From Handwriting to Footprinting: Text and Heritage in the Age of Climate Crisis. Cambridge: Open Book Publishers, 2023. Description An account of the resource The climate crisis has altered many facets of life and has not neglected digital archiving. In her book, <em>From Handwriting to Footprinting</em> <em>Text and Heritage in the Age of Climate Crisis</em>, Anne Baillot calls attention to the digital practices of preservation that have been contributing to global warming. Baillot asks the reader if our digital archiving practices are sustainable, and if not, are they worth watching the world crumble? Many methods are harmful to the environment, but are necessary, in accessing important information. Baillot examines these methods and their Western heritage, calling to the stand historical archive practices and their wastefulness. Not only does Baillot argue against these practices, but she also proposes new ones through her research. Our heritage is important and must be preserved, but not at the cost of the planet. “<em>From Handwriting to Footprinting</em> illuminates the impact that digitization has had on the dissemination and preservation of textual heritage and reflects on what its future may hold.” Baillot believes that digital archiving is not evil but needs to be reevaluated and developed more mindfully. This book will be beneficial to those in the archival field, but also to those working on linguistics coming from the philological perspective. archival standards digital conversion Digital Humanities digital technologies preservation http://dar.cah.ucf.edu/files/original/5ea21dbfbb73088de08c81e7017c8d13.png f202ada08b8140782ca793cdd7ef5edd Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Ficke, Sarah Description An account of the resource The class, titled “Introduction to Literary Study,” helps students build the foundational skills commonly used for the study of literature, including close reading, textual analysis, attention to genre and form, and attention to material and historical contexts. These are all skills that experts working in the digital humanities use to produce projects like digital scholarly editions, tools for large-scale analysis, and visual representations of texts and intertextual relationships. However, my students (largely sophomores), needed to work on honing those skills rather than applying them to a large-scale project or series of complex texts. With that in mind, I designed a digital humanities unit made up of a series of small assignments oriented towards experimenting with digitization and text analysis in a fairly low-stakes environment. The unit starts with identifying key elements of physical texts (rare books from the university library) and how those might translate into a digital environment. It then moves through digitization and into the ways that computers impact our reading and analysis of texts, focusing on some introductory text analysis tools and text markup. Though my assignments revolve around computers and bytes more than paper and highlighters, they share the goal articulated by Paul Fyfe in “Digital Pedagogy Unplugged”: “to keep students’ attention on the critical labor that digital resources seem to dissolve” (par. 12). By introducing my students to the process of creating familiar products like a digitized text or a word cloud, I hoped to demonstrate to them that the act of building a digital product or working tool is always an act of interpretation.
