<p>Our Editors’ Choices this week include an excellent overview of corpus building that is a useful pedagogical resource, and also a post that considers the dichotomy of breadth and depth as approaches to digital humanities professional development. We have also included CFPs, reports, and resources, including the abstract book from the DH2025 conference.&nbsp;</p>

<p>This workshop guides humanities scholars through the emerging landscape of agentic coding—building functional tools and applications through collaboration with AI, rather than writing code from scratch. We begin with Claude Artifacts for rapid prototyping and Claude Code Web for browser-based development, then transition to the Claude Code CLI for the remainder of the week. Participants will work through Simon Willison’s agentic engineering framework, learn to build and share reusable skills using the Superpowers methodology, integrate external tools via the Model Context Protocol (MCP), and deploy smaller open-source models from Hugging Face for specialized tasks like transcription. The final deliverable is a working tool with either a local model or MCP integration relevant to participants’ own research and teaching. No prior programming experience is required—but bring curiosity, a laptop with admin access, and a willingness to think critically about what it means to build with AI.</p>

<p>The call for papers was launched on the 20th of September 2024, with submissions accepted until the 8th of December 2024 (after an extended deadline). It was translated into English, French, German, Italian, Spanish, and Portuguese thanks to the collaboration of several colleagues from the Program Committee and the Local Organizing Committee.</p>



<p>The motto “Building Access and Accessibility, Open Science to all Citizens” was inspired by the 2002 Budapest Open Access Declaration, but also by a commitment to make visible several questions regarding accessibility needs (physical and digital). The Declaration amplified the aim of making research more widely available and free to anyone with internet access. Lately, Open Science or Open Scholarship have reframed concepts such as openness, access and accessibility from a technical and ethical perspective, taking into consideration data, infrastructure, and/or collaboration. National, international, or organizational manifestos, statements, declarations, principles, and policies related to scholarly objects, practices or methods are being formulated to improve and accelerate research through increased transparency, collaboration, and a more inclusive access to scientific knowledge of our societies.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The Timeline of African American Music represents decades of scholarship conducted and led by Dr. Portia K. Maultsby, a pioneer in the study of African American music, as well as the contributions of numerous scholars. From the earliest folk traditions to present-day popular music, the timeline is a detailed view of the evolution of African American musical genres that span the past 400 years. This celebration of African American musical traditions reveals the unique characteristics of each genre and style, while also offering in-depth studies of pioneering musicians who created some of America’s most timeless artistic expressions.</p>

<p>Recent advances in large generative models have turned AI agents into everyday companions. Millions of people now rely on them across domains from design and communication to science and education. These advances offer unprecedented opportunities to support people in open-ended domains by providing a medium for brainstorming ideas, exploring design choices, and thereby improving their creative outcomes. However, existing models and interfaces are primarily designed for automation, and their increasing usage for creative tasks poses new challenges, such as the risk of idea homogeneity and concerns about content copyright. The workshop aims to investigate these opportunities and challenges by focusing the discussions along two thrusts:</p>



<ol class="wp-block-list">
<li>Exploring how generative AI provides new opportunities to support people in open-ended creative tasks in domains ranging from design and communication to science and education.</li>



<li>Identifying unique challenges in integrating AI into creative workflows, which could lead to design fixation and idea homogeneity, and raise issues of content copyright and authorship.</li>
</ol>

<p><strong><em>Editors’ Summary: </em></strong>This post from the Data-Sitters Club provides a helpful orientation to corpus building for newcomers to DH. This is a part of their spinoff series: Data-Sitters Little TL;DR, where they offer key ideas and takeaways for people interested in digital humanities. The post details the legality of using text as data under Fair Use, the considerations needed when using a pre-built corpus, and best practices for OCR and metadata. When working with an already-ready corpus, the author emphasizes the need to consider not just what is included, but what is excluded. The gaps and silences found in archives also apply to online archives, like HathiTrust. This is a very useful pedagogical resource and references various other reports from the DSC. </p>

<p><strong><em>Editors’ Summary: </em></strong>This post responds to a Scholars’ Lab post (<a href="https://scholarslab.lib.virginia.edu/blog/breadth-and-depth-a-self-centered-dialectic/">“Breadth and Depth, a Self-Centered Dialectic”</a>) that discussed breadth and depth as two approaches to digital humanities professional development. This framing places DH careers on two axes, one where the expectation is to know little about a lot of things and the other where the expectation is narrow, specialist-level knowledge about a smaller subset of methods. In his post, Walsh acknowledges that this framing, which he had put forward himself, has in practice exacerbated anxieties amongst early career scholars. He proposes a third term for DH professional development, “breath,” which asks us to think about the inability to pursue universal expertise.</p>

<p><strong>Deadline: June 15</strong></p>



<p>In 2026, Digitorium is focused on the theme of Preserve. As Digital Humanists, we engage in so many levels of preservation, and we want to make space to explore and document that work. Digital Humanities is a field committed to uncovering and preserving culture and society that is hidden. Sometimes hidden means time, as in ancient artifacts being unearthed and digitally preserved. Sometimes hidden means marginalized, as in documenting experiences and events outside of the mainstream archive.&nbsp; Preservation is a foundational value that facilitates access to artifacts and stories that are otherwise in danger of extinction.&nbsp;</p>



<p>Preserve has a deeper meaning today. The office of Digital Humanities at the National Endowment for the Humanities and Digital Humanities Quarterly both celebrate 20-year anniversaries in the coming year. Our field is much older than 20, but we are still grappling with what can sometimes feel an insurmountable obstacle: how do we preserve a digital humanities project?&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>



<p>Join us at Digitorium September 10-12, 2026, where we will be exploring these ideas and working together to formulate some answers. We invite you to share your experiences around the idea of Preserve. What have you been working to preserve, and what methodologies and strategies have you employed along the way?&nbsp; And what are your thoughts on creating sustainable digital projects that will last the test of time, so that generations of users will be able to learn from the work you are completing? We are excited to spend this time with you all, working towards this common goal.</p>
