Projects

The Center for Digital Scholarship (CDS) helps researchers across all levels and all disciplines get started in digital scholarship. Faculty can apply for project support. Projects begin at CDS with a conversation between the involved faculty member and our team.

Work With Us

Once the project is selected, we will write a project charter. The charter will outline the project’s goals, assemble a team, determine roles and responsibilities, create a sustainability plan for the project long term, and establish project meetings.

We will then continue to plan, leaving some time to experiment with different options, and then build, review, and share the project.

Not sure where to start? Take a look at the diagram below to get a feel for how projects with CDS are typically initiated, planned, and executed. If you are interested in working on a digital project, please contact us.

  • The Opening the Archives project is an ambitious undertaking organized by Brown University and the Universidade Estadual de Maringá, Paraná, Brazil to systematically digitize and index tens of thousands of declassified documents in the U.S. government archives related to Brazil from 1960 to 1980.
  • Stolen Relations: Recovering Stories of Indigenous Enslavement in the Americas is a collaborative effort to build a database of enslaved indigenous people throughout time all across the Americas in order to promote greater understanding of the historical circumstances and ongoing trauma of settler colonialism.
  • The Inscriptions of Israel and Palestine project seeks to collect and make accessible all of the previously published inscriptions (and their English translations) from the Persian period through the Islamic conquest (ca. 500 BCE – 640 CE).
  • Supported by a generous grant from the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, Digital Publications offers faculty members in the humanities and social sciences the opportunity to explore new and innovative approaches to scholarly publishing. Learn more about digital publishing at Brown.
