FSU researchers receive NEH grant to strengthen data sharing in the humanities

A  Florida State University team of researchers has received a grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) to determine what a data repository for a specific subset of the humanities might look like.

The grant will fund the project “Data Repository Infrastructure for Prosopographic Data,” which proposes a three-day working meeting to convene experts in repositories, humanities data and prosopographic research. The workshop will take place in Fall 2020 at Florida State University.

“This is an important and exciting time for data sharing in the humanities,” said Sarah Stanley, a digital humanities librarian at FSU and the project director. “I’m so grateful to the NEH for giving me this opportunity to explore how digital humanists can build shared platforms for research.”
