        Subject: an open collection of primary sources for/of the history of DH (was: Digital Humanities 2006 proceedings)

hi everyone,

this (the request of Federico and the answer of Elizabeth) reminds me
that some weeks ago the question was posed in a structural form: how
could we manage to have (to build) a collection of documents (from print
to semi-formal, semi-internal reports or documents) of the life and
development of DH?

the starting point was message 37.361: name of the first ALLC/ACH
Manfred Thaller wrote in that message:

and some replies followed. but no action.

i think that one is a specific DH theme where we should show how capable
we are: how to build an open collection of primary sources for/of the
history of DH.

The matter is that this cannot be but a collaborative and distributed
endeavour which can live on the basis of some basic rules like:

  * sources not copyrighted
  * sources (mainly printed matters) must be digitized
  * resolution must be not less than (200 dpi? 300 dpi?)
  * color must be (b/w, gray scale, full color)
  * images must be in (tiff, png, jpeg -which specification for jpg?)

basic metadata for the description must be the usual ones for articles
and books; for every other source

  * author (collective and personal where applicable)
  * title
  * date
  * publisher (entity who caused the production of the source)
  * known location of the physical exemplar of the source

the place of publication:
Internet Archive?
a shared library in the Zotero cloud?

best
Maurizio
