Focus: Summer Reading and Resources

The June 2018 issue of Digital Scholarship in the Humanities features a wide-ranging assortment of original articles, true to the variety and breadth that makes DH such an interesting and energetic field. We recommend putting all of them on your summer reading list.

Anastasia Salter highlights useful resources for teaching interactive fiction from the Computers & Writing conference held at George Mason University. Her list includes Quest, which is particularly useful for web-based development of "retro games," and ADRIFT, which uses a graphical interface to support those with less experience scripting.

Artists and ecologists are using technology and digital archiving tools, like YouTube, to "reanimate" extinct species, such as the Kaua'i 'o'o.

For The Guardian, Michael Hann describes how an online archive can be revolutionary for engaging fans and other communities. Visit The Neil Young Archive here.

Wibke Weber explains the ways in which we can "listen to the sound of data," drawing upon journalists' analysis of gunshots during the Las Vegas and Orlando mass shootings. 

EyeWire, a gamified platform for mapping the brain, has evolved into a digital museum that can help researchers better understand the brain. The team also published an article in ​Cell.
