Charlottesville, Virginia
This course will focus on the scholarly, theoretical, institutional, and practical issues involved in the digitization of our shared cultural heritage. It is not a training course in specific tools, standards, work flows, nor methods. Instead,we will consider what is at stake, both locally and systemically, for institutions and individual scholars who create, share, and use digital surrogates for literary and historical documents. We will divide our attention between physical texts from the UVA Library and RBS on the one hand, and digital archives and collections on the other. Students will consider topics such as markup, description, interface design, user experience and usability, visualization, interoperability, and archiving from a theoretical angle, with specific examples brought to bear from the world of print and the digital environment. Our attention will also be directed to larger pragmatic considerations, including collections-building, the creation of institutional partnerships, the discovery and re-use of content by the scholarly community, and the sustainability of digital projects..
