Social Media and Crowdsourcing

Concept: Using social media or crowdsourcing to collect information from past or present events to make that history or the objects that make up that history more accessible for research or public consumption.

Some of the places where social media and crowdsourcing are being utilized are: Forum for Scholars and Public, the University Archives,  and the Digital Art History & Visual Culture Research Lab.

Digital humanities consultants in the ScholarWorks Center for Open Scholarship are available to plan projects, explore technologies, and connect researchers with on-campus resources.
