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 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!
