Digital Humanities Incubator (2012 – 13)

By MITH|2019-01-15T10:28:12-05:00Sep 14, 2015|

The Digital Humanities Incubator is a program intended to help introduce University faculty, staff, and graduate assistants to digital humanities through a series of workshops, tutorials, “office hours,” and project consultations. Through a series of workshops and exercises, this first phase of the Incubator in 2012-13 concentrated on working with UMD Libraries faculty and staff exclusively. The program offered a model for nurturing digitally engaged, research-intensive librarianship, and also contributed directly to librarians’ ability to act as subject liaisons with faculty.

Really proud of the work that I did with my colleagues at @documentnow. More proud of the new directions the work is going. In our current uncertain sociopolitical moment @DocNow continues to be vitally important to creating new ethical ways to archive social media.

The poems, edited for a never-realized posthumous publication, were recovered from the laptop of Deena Larsen at @UMD_MITH by @UMDEnglish Professor Matthew Kirschenbaum. The @internetarchive (fittingly in Dickey’s home city of San Francisco) finally offers us a platform for them.
