Humanities Data
Our Cultural Commonwealth: The report of
the American Council of Learned Societies
Commission on Cyberinfrastructure for the
Humanities and Social Sciences
“The complexity of the record of human
cultures . . . makes digitization difficult and
expensive. Moreover, a critical mass of
information is often necessary for
understanding both the context and the
specifics of an artifact or event, and this may
include large collections of multimedia
content: images, text, moving images, audio.”

DH Data Curation In Libraries
Walters and Skinner, New Roles for New
Times: Digital Curation for Preservation
Muñoz and Renear, “Issues in Humanities
Data Curation”:
“Librarians and archivists acting as
humanities data curators must embrace
roles as researchers in the manner that
programmers and software engineers in the
digital humanities have come to do.”

curation

• Workshops and conferences (e.g., Humanities
Data Curation Institutes)
• DH Curation Guide:
http://guide.dhcuration.org

• SDS Report
• Consider your library’s resource environment

accordingly.”—Walters and Skinner, New Roles
for New Times
Data Curation for Research
Librarians

Scholars

“Much work remains to build the
scholarly infrastructure necessary
for digital scholarship to become
mainstream in the humanities. . .
.
Librarians, archivists, programmer
