As a reminder, the deadline for applications to the Georgia Tech institute is next Thursday, December 13th. More information is available here: https://sites.haa.pitt.edu/sustainabilityinstitute/georgia-institute-of-technology/.

FYI there will not be Virtual Office Hours on December 11th as we will be in the midst of facilitating the NEH institute at the University of Pittsburgh! Also, we will be on winter recess from December 15th to January 7th, so will not have Office Hours during that period but are available for urgent questions at vmwshop@pitt.edu !

Sounds good! Thanks!

Hi Anne. I believe it would be appropriate for you and a partner from the UNC Library to apply so long as Chapel Hill is in agreement with this, as they are still the project’s stewards. Who was the original project manager?

I am here or on Slack! Apologies for the delay!

A short reading for you from Pamela Fox. It is called “The Funeral of Dead Projects” (https://medium.com/@pamelafox/the-funeral-of-dead-projects-8fc9911bff00) and encourages us to say goodbye to projects.

Digital Preservation Coalition or (https://www.dpconline.org/). In 2015, the DPC published an easily-accessible Digital Preservation Handbook. We recommend that you start with “Why Digital Preservation Matters”  http://www.dpconline.org/handbook/digital-preservation/why-digital-preservation-matters.

If you prefer Slack, I am also on the Digital Humanities Slack in the “sustaining” channel (https://digitalhumanities.slack.com/messages/C3XJB8WR4/). Not a part of the Digital Humanities Slack?
