Hi all,
I’m currently working with three colleagues on a Mellon-funded research project to explore the skills and competencies required to support digital scholarship in the humanities and social sciences. In order to define benchmarks, we will be visiting ten “best in class” digital scholarship centers around the world, five in North America, five international. When we met Alex Gil at the Digital Humanities conference, he suggested that we post a message to the group introducing ourselves and our project. We’re interested in hearing from the GO::DH community about potential locations for us to visit during the next year. We are using a variety of criteria to identify potential sites to visit. These include impact, innovation and/or strong training and education programs, as well as a willingness to participate in a site visit. Please email me at
lisamspiro@gmail.com if you would like to suggest a site for us to visit (including your own institution) or have any questions. For more information about the project, please see our blog at
