Preserving Digital Humanities
Melanie Schlosser and Lewis Ulman, OSU
-- Evaluation of Digital Work:
-- Samual Sullivan Cox project
-- METS document to capture all the different parties involved with Cox project. Almost all done by hand, except for some scrpt for repetitive parts. DSpace has tech metadata, but it does not capture the relationships or details among assets. METS does this. They rely both on what DSpace captures and the METS document
-- Open source curation tool (good for project workflow): media manager. Also used for manuscript projects
-- library couldn't host this project
-- DSpace used at OSU for institutional repository.
-- article on institutional repositories, "inkeeper at the roach motel"
-- See Knowledge Bank for archival version of Cox project
-- Ask how XSLT was created for this project. Answer: Lewis Ulman did it, using Seaman's XSLT (formerly of UVa), and by attending his workshop
-- See OSU Digital Humanities
-- Fedora: delivery and preservation simultaneous (vs. DSpace)
-- Article on digital preservation fallacies

DH Projects and Collaboration
Columbus neighborhoods
-- how users interact with media. Helene Blowers from Columbus Metro Library. Action words at top of site. "big concepts, keep it clean." Major contact:
Phone: (614) 479-3029
Email: hblowers@columbuslibrary.org
www.columbusneighborhoods.org
-- users will be able to geotag, upload their stories, media. 2-6 minute video clips will be part of it. They can use flicker, etc., common tools most are familiar with.
-- WOSU 10-member committee, subcommittees.
-- Metadata supplied by users is loose, mostly free-forming. For example, if no date is supplied, so be it. However, users do have to register (no anonymous submissions), and there is a drop-down menu for users to pick the neighborhood.
-- See: city of memory web site

Ohio Historical Society
Angela O'Neal
-- new audiences and partnerships via technology
-- has audience changed as a result of technology?
-- have organizations changed as a result of technology?
how does a museum shift its shape to maintain connections to a virtual audience?
Howard Stevens article on the evolution of the media
-- Pew Internet & American Life Project -- use this for statistics; good for grant applications
-- book: What Consumers Really Want by B.J. Pine and J. Gilmore, Harvard Business Review
-- David Thelen: http://chnm.gmu.edu/survey/afterdave.html. He found that 39% of Americans have hobbies related to the past, for example. Also, U.S. Gov't and history profs are least trusted.
-- collaboration, cms, branding. Collaboration: loaded term. Share link to your site, versus share your material to be part of coherent collection housed elsewhere
