As a supplement to the Endings projectʼs accomplishments and outcomes, we list here a collection of resources that we have found useful, especially in the early phases of our research.
Useful Projects
- The Digital Documentation Process, “Make your DH projects findable, citable, and stable.” https://digitalhumanitiesddp.com
- The Socio-Technical Sustainability Roadmap “[O]ne of the deliverables from the NEH-funded project, ‘Sustaining MedArt,’ that was housed from 2016-2018 in the University of Pittsburgh’s Visual Media Workshop (VMW).” It offers a project survey walkthrough to help you think about the long-term preservation of your projects. https://sites.haa.pitt.edu/sustainabilityroadmap/
Papers & Other Publications
This list demonstrates that preservation has been a concern of the DH community since the late 1990s. We present the list in two parts in order to demonstrate our awareness of the increasing attention to the challenges addressed in our application.
