For those of you who follow my blog but aren’t on Twitter, a quick note that New Zealand now has a digital humanities portal. Humanities Machine is presented in partnership with the University of Canterbury’s Humanities Computing Unit, and has been put live slightly earlier than expected because of the recent earthquake. I view this very much as ‘Version 1.0′ and hope it can be developed further, perhaps even being completely remodeled and extended as part of an antipodean One Week One Tool kind of program.
Digital scholarship and academic research
I’ve been blogging a bit more than I planned to these last few weeks, but want to draw readers attention to this video of Krisztina Holly, Vice Provost for Innovation at the University of Southern California, speaking about the way digital scholarship will change university research. It’s doing the rounds of academic Twitter streams and is associated with the recent buzz over an article on open access review policies that appeared on the front page of the New York Times on August 24th.
