If you’ve visited the projects listed below and benefited from the scholarship they publish, please consider voting for them. Voting closes March 17, 2022.
1) Undisciplining the Victorian Classroom (https://undiscipliningvc.org/index.html) appears in the category of “BEST DH TRAINING MATERIALS.” Undisciplining the Victorian Classroom is a peer-reviewed digital humanities project that reimagines how to teach Victorian Studies through a positive, race-conscious lens. The project brings together a diverse set of individuals – permanent faculty, contingent staff, independent scholars, students – through an intentional collaboration based on radical care that responds to the renewed call for racial and social justice. Pearl Chaozon Bauer, Ryan D. Fong, Sophia Hsu, and Adrian S. Wisnicki lead the project.
2) The George Eliot Archive (https://georgeeliotarchive.org/), directed by Dr. Beverley Park Rilett, provides free, open access to comprehensive resources on George Eliot’s life and works. Two aspects of the project are nominated for DH Awards: the project’s dataset, which includes more than 5,000 text and image files described to DCME standards, and one of several data visualizations, a 60,000-word interactive Chronology.
a) George Eliot’s Chronology (https://georgeeliotarchive.org/chronology/) appears in the category of “BEST DH DATA VISUALIZATION”
b) George Eliot Archive (https://GeorgeEliotArchive.org) appears in the category of “BEST DH DATASET”
