Digital Humanities Initiative

The CUNY Digital Humanities Initiative (CUNY DHI), launched in Fall 2010, aims to build connections and community among those at CUNY who are applying digital technologies to scholarship and pedagogy in the humanities. All are welcome: faculty, students, and technologists, experienced practitioners and beginning DHers, enthusiasts and skeptics.

We meet regularly on- and offline to explore key topics in the Digital Humanities, and share our work, questions, and concerns. See our blog for more information on upcoming events (it’s also where we present our group’s work to a wider audience). Help edit the CUNY Digital Humanities Resource Guide, our first group project. And, of course, join the conversation on the Forum.

Records will represent photographs, fine art, artifacts, oral histories, archival documents, and films.

    Proposals will be accepted within a cost range of $7,000 – $10,000.

    2. To set up a WordPress Multisite network that utilizes a custom WordPress media gallery tool (see RFP for WordPress Media Gallery) and design three microsites incorporating metadata, assets, and textual content.
