Media Ecology Project
The document summarizes the goals and status of the Media Ecology Project (MEP). The MEP aims to 1) realize a sustainability project around cultural memory and media history using linked data, 2) develop networked scholarship around online archival content, and 3) support the work of archives in relation to public memory. It is currently in beta development, working simultaneously on building a research environment, engaging learning models, recruiting partners, and developing tools. Pilot projects include working with the Library of Congress paper print collection and multi-archival projects on newsreels and broadcast news.

- 6. DH Challenge “Currently, Ifear, the digital humanities are not ready to take up their full responsibility because the field does not yet possess an adequate critical awareness of the larger social, economic, and cultural issues at stake. The side of the digital humanities that descends from humanities computing lacks almost all cultural-critical awareness, and the side that descends from new media studies is indiscriminately critical of society and global informational ‘empire’ without sufficient focus on the specifically institutional — in this case, higher education — issues at stake.” — Alan Liu, “State of the Digital Humanities: A Report and Critique, “ Arts and Humanities in Higher Education (2012) 11: 11.
