Hi all,
I'm in the process of putting together a 1 year $20k internal grant focussing on Digital Cultural Heritage. The focus of the grant is international research and I'd like to use it to further some aspects of the work we've been doing at GO::DH.
My ideas about what I mean by Digital Cultural Heritage are a bit vague, I confess, but I mean something like the intersection of museological and philological approaches to texts and objects, scholarship of primary sources with some public outreach and education component, or the extension of textual critical type approaches to things to cover non-textual as well as textual objects.
Who else is working on these kinds of things? I'd be very interested in seeing if we could use the grant to develop an interesting partnership for future funding. I'm especially interested in projects you might know of that are interested in this kind of thing outside of Europe and Canada/U.S., but not adverse to working with groups in either of those places. Anybody know of anything related in Africa, Middle East, or Latin America/Caribbean?
Related to this is a larger external grant we are working on this year that overlaps a little with the topic.
My deadline is the end of the month, so the sooner I know of potential partners the better. Let me know if this is something that interests you.
