This is Why We Fight: Defining the Values of the Digital Humanities<\/a>“):<\/p>\n\n\n\n-Openness
-Collaboration
-Collegiality and connectedness
-Diversity
-Experimentation<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I have found that much of the experience has fallen under various combinations of multiple of the aforementioned values; as an example, our first steps into the DH world have taken a huge mixture of both experimentation and openness, especially because this microproject is our first attempt to use many of the tools we\u2019ve been taught.
I am immediately struck by a couple overall takeaways in regards to the experience working together on the microproject; first and foremost, I would point out the flexibility that this collaboration has required. From the very first week, when we were still standing on baby-legs and hadn\u2019t even determined the overall narrative structure for the project \u2013 the story we wanted to tell \u2013 we had to work out the best ways for open and consistent communication.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
With half the cohort off-campus (3 students), and the other half on-campus (3 students), plus members in completely different time-zones, it took a lot of flexibility on everyone\u2019s part in determining how this project would be developed and shaped. I was \u2013 and am \u2013 proud of the work we accomplished since then, and the responsibility that each member has adopted for their tasks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In addition, I am also encouraged by the encouragement and support \u2013 collegiality and connectedness \u2013 that we have consistently received from the wonderful library team. Every step of the way we had a support system to help, from digitizing some extra Albert Chance content that we discovered in Special Collections to fixing HTML bugs in the sometimes-wacky WordPress.
These experiences working on the microproject have given me valuable insight and practice for my own personal project. I have been able to engage with programs and practice with them, which will make it easier when I use them later. I\u2019ve also gleaned experience in receiving feedback and responding to constructive criticism in positive ways.
Overall, I feel confident and ready to tackle my own project, thanks to the library team, my cohort, and how we\u2019ve embraced the DH values in all our work together.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is incredible to realize that we\u2019ve finished 3 out of 8 weeks for DSSF21 already. On one hand, due to the sheer amount that we have learned \u2013 from programs and virtual tools to tips on data visualization and copyright laws \u2013 it feels like we\u2019ve been working for much longer than three weeks!
