I would like a session to discuss and gather input on Peer Review in the GeoHumanities draft criteria. I will be presenting on it at Digital Frontiers, and have this CommentPress up to gather input: geohum.djwrisley.com

Many academic libraries are removing books, microforms, etc from libraries to remote facilities to make room for more study spaces, computer labs, and power outlets. I propose a session around an idea I had to create interactive (browsable), virtual representations of the book stacks that have been removed. The session could be talk/play and we could brainstorm and expand on this idea. Or, depending on the level of skill present, the session could get hack-y.

I understand (at least the basic) why, but I’d love to see it in action.

I’d like to propose a Talk session about (for lack of a better term) “best practices” for archiving artistic content produced by working artists who are rightly too busy producing their work to worry about how it might be preserved or remembered in the future. My institution (UNT Special Collections) was recently approached by an artistic organization that managed to rescue many cultural assets literally from a dumpster and the donor expressed the concern for the wealth of artistic assets that are lost or thrown away through benign neglect. This is, of course, especially relevant to the digital age when changes to manuscripts, etc. can be easily overwritten in Word. Anyway, I’ve been struggling with this issue (does an archivist intervene early? seek out artists? — this feels very predatory) and would be interested in feedback/other perspectives.

This sounds quite intriguing. I’d be all for it.

This sounds great! I think there are a lot of misconceptions about minimal processing and you’ll get a lot of good questions.

I’d like to propose a Teach session on minimal processing for digital preservation. On Thursday, I’m co-presenting with Patrice Prud’homme on an IMLS-sponsored preservation project our team (Digital POWRR) just completed. We all know how much the landscape of options changes, though, so maybe this could be a Teach-and-Share? Or a Play session along the lines of Donelle McKinley’s 2012 “Share Your Favourite Tools” session listed above?

Hey! Very excited about the conference and THATCamp again this year.

I’d like to participate in a discussion about Linked Data and the Humanities. I’d love to see some examples of projects that use linked open data, or brainstorm some ideas for how linked data can be of use to DH projects.
