March 21 and 22 – Sustaining Digital Humanities Workshop

The Five Colleges of Ohio Digital Collaborations Group is excited to announce that the NEH-funded Sustaining DH Institute has offered to bring their Sustaining DH Workshop (https://bit.ly/2BweUaX) here to the Ohio Five. This two-day workshop focusing on the sustainability of digital humanities projects will be held at Denison University’s Center for Learning and Teaching on March 21-22. The session will be co-led by Dr. Alison Langmead and doctoral candidates Aisling Quigley and Chelsea Gunn from the School of Computing and Information at the University of Pittsburgh. The deadline to register is Feb. 28. Use this form to register.

The workshop is based on the Socio-Technical Sustainability Roadmap (https://bit.ly/2GsdGBH), a project developed by and housed in the Visual Media Workshop (https://bit.ly/2E9auIz) at the University of Pittsburgh. Facilitators will lead participants through structured group exercises that guide participants through the practice of creating effective sustainability plans for their digital projects.

The workshop is designed to accommodate approximately 25 people, mostly working in teams of two or three, and the facilitators strongly encourage participation from those involved in the development and ongoing maintenance and sustainability of collaborative digital projects including, but not limited to, faculty, librarians and technologists. A daily schedule (https://bit.ly/2tlgZC1) and agenda for both days is available on the Sustaining DH website.

Thanks to support from the Ohio Five’s Mellon-funded grant Digital Collections: From Projects to Pedagogy and Scholarship, we are pleased to offer reimbursement for travel mileage and for overnight accommodation for those who will be traveling a bit farther than usual to attend the session.
