“The Marianne Moore Digital Archive, With Reflections on the Future of Digital Scholarship and Funding”

Introduced by Venu Govindaraju, Vice President for Research and Economic Development at UB

One of UB’s most prominent digital humanists will discuss the Marianne Moore Digital Archive (http://moorearchive.org/), which will make digital images of American modernist poet Marianne Moore’s notebooks accessible with facing-page transcriptions, annotation, faceted search capacity, and supporting materials including bibliography and databases. This talk will be of interest to scholars of literature, cultural studies, and modernism and those in any field who are interested in using digital tools and platforms to present or edit historical documents online. One of the hands-on workshops on the following weekend will directly complement this presentation.

Cristanne Miller heads a team of UB scholars that received a 2015 IMPACT Award for the Marianne Moore Archive: Notebooks Project from the Office of the Vice President for Research and Economic Development. Her most recent book is Reading In Time: Dickinson in the Nineteenth Century, and her new edition of Dickinson’s poems will appear in April.

Digital Scholarship Week

“Digital humanities” and “digital scholarship” are increasingly frequent watchwords among the academic avant-garde, but do these tools radically change what scholars can do? Digital Scholarship Week will offer seven days of events to explore this question with programing for two distinct groups on the UB campus. The week will provide an introduction for faculty and students curious about how digital methods could enrich their scholarship, and it will bring together scholars already engaged in digital scholarship to introduce their work to the UB academic community and to exchange methods and ideas. Together, this week will offer UB faculty and graduate students the chance to delve into key trends in digital scholarship.

Digital Scholarship Week is presented by the Committee on Digital Scholarship and Cultures (DiSC) and the Humanities Institute with support from the Office of the Vice President for Research and Economic Development and the College of Arts and Sciences.
