Experimental Humanities Awarded NEH Grant

EH is excited to announce that we have been awarded a Digital Humanities Advancement Grant (DHAG) from NEH! This grant will support the creation of a solar-powered server to host our extensive archives. Solar-Powering the Humanities: Archiving for the Future emerged out of conversations regarding ways EH might incubate projects that explicitly address the ecological crisis. A collaboration among among faculty and staff in Computer Science, Physics, IT, and the Arts, our designs will be made available so that other institutions can reimagine their archives to be self-sustaining and environmentally responsible. More soon!
