The workgroup Digital Methodologies for Print Culture and Archives will conduct first meeting on Wednesday, Feb. 4 from 2pm-3pm at RSC – room Shocker 70 202 on the second floor. Description of the workgroup purpose and vision: This workgroup explores participatory digital archives as an evolving landscape of research infrastructure situated between digital humanities and digital cultural heritage. We focus on how changing conditions, technologies, and scales of participation are shaping the ways archival material is collected, structured, shared, and interpreted. The group is particularly attentive to preservation practices of printed matter produced in regions and contexts shaped by linguistic diversity and fragmented archival practices, where print production is inherently decentralized. The group explores heritage infrastructures in digital humanities as cultural, political, and methodological systems. The group aims to share methodologies, identify needs, and explore collaborative possibilities across disciplines. Together, participants will have the opportunity to examine existing platforms and practices and begin shaping a collaborative research direction that connects print culture, archival work, and digital methodologies.
