Hi, Bluesky, we are DigitalArc! 👋 Funded by @acls1919, we advance community-led archiving projects in the Midwest, offering communities options for exhibiting & managing their own stories. We believe communities, not just institutions, should decide how things appear in the historical record.
It was an absolute joy to coauthor a piece on supporting text mining across disciplines with @hagman.bsky.social! Looking forward to reading the other pieces in this collection!
Excited to be joining #SHARP2025 virtually this morning! Massive thanks to the conference organizers and Liz Hoiem for accommodating multiple panelists joining from afar!
Too much to absorb at #buildingbooklabs25 to post, but I will be returning to the teaching techniques and advocacy strategies we discussed time and again over the next few months. Massive kudos to @skeuomorphpress.org and @ryancordell.org for bringing us together!
"My artist's book will not get me tenure but my article about the artist's book will. [...] Even though the artists book makes the argument better"
We have to change our understanding of what citation looks like, what rigor means

Stealing your metaphor from now on: "just because the ingredients for tacos are present doesn't mean that tacos will happen."🌮🌪️

Very excited to kickoff #buildingbooklabs25 and to welcome so many #DHmakes folks! If you need some help wayfinding, please find me!

Absolutely stunning!!! 😍
Massive thanks to our Sponsored Program Administration and our campus legal team for submitting an appeal to the NEH on our behalf! With all the battles going on right now, to have their support means more than words can express.
The Campus Legal team is weighing in on ours because an appeal creates a liability for the University.
I am so sorry.
I am so sorry to hear about this- the hands-experience students gain through this program is absolutely vital for interdisciplinary training. Solidarity, Patty❤️
the loss of @neh-odh.bsky.social @nehgov.bsky.social and IMLS will undoubtedly impact humanities and digital humanities research and teaching for decades to come. Worse is the separation of the incredible staffs at those agencies who have decades of stewardship and leadership in cultural heritage.
You and your colleagues are beloved. We deeply appreciate all that you have done to support the humanities.❤️
Meant to say that we sent a message through eGMS asking for confirmation.
Haven't had the heart to check eGMS after that message. I am so sorry to hear that your grant may be affected too.
We sent a message through eGMS. The response from the NEH confirmed that our grant had been terminated by DOGE. The NEH did not
include a copy of the letter or mention the exact email address for DOGE, but did encourage sending questions to the NEH chair's .gov address.
Update to add that we got confirmation from the NEH through eGMS that our grant has been terminated. Going to file an appeal and are reaching out to the NHA and ACH to join the network of folks impacted by this.
It’s a heist movie but just with a bunch of humanities scholars trying to get their grant money back.
I am so sorry to hear that your grant is affected too. Was hoping that the AI grants would be spared. We confirmed our HCRR was cancelled through eGMS and are planning to contest.
Yes- we started last October and planned to complete the project in August 2026.
Welp, just received confirmation through eGMS that NEH Humanities Collections and Reference Resources grant was cancelled by DOGE.
(Excuse the typo-- flurry of typing this morning to alert admin of the issue)
Amplifying!!grant_notifications@nehemail.onmicrosoft.com (which sent a letter of termination of our NEH HCRR to our Sponsored Programs Admin) is not an official NEH address. Check eGMS!!
I am so glad you posted this- we received a letter about our NEH HCRR address from grant_notifications@nehemail.onmicrosoft.com and University admin are taking it seriously. Meanwhile, nothing is reflected in our eGMS. Thank you so much for the heads up!!!!
Professional writing is audience oriented- a job ad or a cover letter can break every rule about tone/formatting and be extremely effective, as demonstrated by an ad for a "sick AF" watercolor mural that concluded with "ciao" (photo of which now sadly lost).
Very curious to hear more about the space, especially in terms of equipment. We've had a run of cultural heritage data mining and photogrammetry projects at the UofI, but we don't currently have the org structure in the library to support sustainably. Looking for models to point to!
