- Abstract
- Working with "Big Data" and creating sustainable projects are current concerns in the field of Digital Humanities. Five diverse projects are targeted as cases studies to explore these issues. Projects include The Old Bailey Proceedings Online, The Perseus Digital Library Project, Boston Streets Mapping Directory, Digital Harlem, and Going to the Show. These projects are highlighted as they showcase a variety of models and techniques for promoting documentation and sustainability of big data work in the digital humanities. From these case studies a story emerges. Sustainable, interoperable projects in the digital humanities are deeply tied to acknowledging and integrating the work of digital humanists into wider, already established realms of research and scholarship. This is reflected in three unique areas can be used to evaluate the proficiency of these projects. These areas are technical documentation, citation recommendations, and bibliographies.
