Project Description

The Ohio State University’s faculty and graduate students have been applying digital humanities (DH) approaches to research for decades. This expansion of DH practice has reached a point that necessitates establishing cohesive, sustainable cross-disciplinary support and resources. Since conducting an environmental scan in 2016-17, Digital Humanities Librarian Leigh Bonds has advocated for the adoption of a “network model”—“a linked network of units, groups, and practitioners who contribute expertise to the overall pool” (Educause Center for Analysis and Research, “Building Capacity for Digital Humanities: A Framework for Institutional Planning,” 2017). This project undertakes the construct of this network and the implementation of a web publishing platform for digital collections, drawing upon established expertise in a variety of units—ACCAD, Libraries, Humanities Institute, to support both funded and unfunded faculty and graduate student research through collaboration, consultation, instruction, and referrals within the network.
