Digital Collections & Archives

Description

Digital archives + collections are a curated set of items pertaining to a specific topic, often described with some form of standardized metadata, that are shared for use with a public user base. These kinds of projects are among the earliest examples of Digital Humanities work, and generally tend to make public otherwise unavailable material, especially in projects focused on marginalized or silenced voices. In addition to gathering historical materials, digital collections can also actively request first-person accounts and materials in response to specific events.

Examples

• Geography of Slavery
• September 11 Digital Archive

# Caveats
# 	I'm no shell expert
# 	This is in Bash on a Mac running Mojave
# 	You may need to read the whole thing before using
# 
# Explanation
# (hopefully intelligible to the advanced beginner or low intermediate Bash user)
# 
# * Slashes at the line ends tell the shell to consider the next line part of the command
