The Center for Digital Humanities is an interdisciplinary research center and academic unit within the Princeton University Library. We embrace an inclusive understanding of DH that investigates the myriad ways digital methods and technologies are opening new avenues for research into the human experience, past and present.

Making the most of the CDH Seed Grants

Bobbi Coffey

Steve Knowlton
February 24 12:00–1:20 PM

Each year, the Center for Digital Humanities (CDH) welcomes librarians to submit proposals for the Seed Grants. The 2020 deadline is March 13. 

Join our three librarians to learn more about how they conceived of their projects, wrote their proposals and implemented their projects:

  • Steve's project collects memories of public libraries from oral histories of prominent African Americans, which will be subjected to qualitative analysis to identify themes for use in writing a social history.

SEED grants help librarians to think through project ideas that are in the early stages, and also help build connections with faculty who are exploring related topics. CDH staff will also describe how to apply for a Dataset Curation grant, where grantees learn best practices for working with humanities data and publish their own original dataset. Bring your questions and ideas along! 

Deadline

Dataset Curation Grant Deadline

March 2 12:00–12:00 AM

CDH Dataset Curation Grants familiarize recipients with the analytical and technological practices of working with humanities data. Grantees are taught best practices in data selection, gathering, modeling, cleaning, transformation, and maintenance, with the aim of producing a research dataset suitable for computational analysis. We seek applicants who are interested in participating in the CDH’s ongoing conversation about methodological, cultural, and ethical questions raised by curating humanities data.
