Archives and special collections departments have a long history of
preserving and providing long-term access to organizational
records, rare books, and other unique primary sources including
manuscripts, photographs, recordings, and artifacts in various
formats. The careful curatorial attention to such records has also
ensured that such records remain available to researchers and the
public as sources of knowledge, memory, and identity. Digital
curation presents an important framework for the continued
preservation of digitized and born-digital collections, given the
ephemeral and device-dependent nature of digital content. With the
emergence of analog and digital media formats in close succession
(compared to earlier paper- and film-based formats) came new
standards, technologies, methods, documentation, and workflows to
ensure safe storage and access to content and associated metadata.
Researchers in the digital humanities have extensively applied
computing to research; for them, continued access to primary data
and cultural heritage means both the continuation of humanities
scholarship and new methodologies not possible without digital
technology. Digital Curation in the Digital Humanities, therefore,
comprises a joint framework for preserving, promoting, and
accessing digital collections. This book explores at great length
the conceptualization of digital curation projects with
interdisciplinary approaches that combine the digital humanities
and history, information architecture, social networking, and other
themes for such a framework. The individual chapters focus on the
specifics of each area, but the relationships holding the knowledge
architecture and the digital curation lifecycle model together
remain an overarching theme throughout the book; thus, each chapter
connects to others on a conceptual, theoretical, or practical
level.
