Stuff Without Context
Collaborators
Digital projects are often the result of collaboration and many hours of otherwise invisible labour.
This very basic digital exhibit would not have been possible without the help of:
They taught the course ‘Creating Digital Collections with Minimal Infrastructure: Hands On with CollectionBuilder for Teaching and Exhibits’ as part of the 2023 Digital Humanities Summer Institute at the University of Victoria.
Their support also extends to in-depth consultation on a separate project on which I worked in parallel as part of this course. While that project cannot be made public, the insights and detailed guidance provided by all three instructors will inform a real use case for CollectionBuilder in my own work.
Last but not least, my attendance to this workshop was funded and supported by the University of Waterloo Library, as part of professional development in my new role as Digital Scholarship Librarian.
Remember to acknowledge the work of your collaborators in your own projects!
Technical Credits - CollectionBuilder
This digital collection is built with CollectionBuilder, an open source framework for creating digital collection and exhibit websites that is developed by faculty librarians at the University of Idaho Library following the Lib-Static methodology.
Using the CollectionBuilder-CSV template and the static website generator Jekyll, this project creates an engaging interface to explore driven by metadata.
