Subject: [DHSI] How to end your DH project
To: Institute@lists.uvic.ca
Dear colleagues,
Apologies for cross-posting.
In April 2016, the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of
Canada awarded an a major grant to Endings: Concluding, Archiving, and
Preserving Digital Projects for Long-Term Usability, a project exploring
practical answers to the questions of how DH projects end, and where they
should be archived in order maintain the dynamic features that make them
readable, searchable, and even interactive. (See Project Endings <
https://onlineacademiccommunity.uvic.ca/endingsproject/> and <
https://github.com/projectEndings> for examples of our ongoing work.)
Working partly from four case studies (University of Victoria DH projects),
we are developing tool kits to aid the DH community in implementing best
practices in ending and archiving. Having learned as much as we can from
our own successes and failures, we want to gain insight from a wide variety
of DH projects through a multiple-choice survey.
We hope that you will be willing to share your experience in ending and
archiving with us. You may be acquainted with some team members; you should
feel under no obligation to respond to the survey for this reason.
The survey should take ten to fifteen minutes to complete. Please click

With thanks from the Project Endings team.
