Preface from original site
DHARMa is a one-year project (ending August 2014) addressing effective research data preservation in the Digital Humanities. It is generously funded by the John Fell Fund and managed by the Bodleian Libraries (BDLSS).
We will work closely with 13 Digital Humanities projects (see below) to investigate the nature of the research materials they are using/creating and the preservation requirements arising from these, and use our findings to inform the central provision of data preservation services (in practice, DataBank and ORA). The main outputs of the project will be:
- an exemplary corpus of archived Digital Humanities data in the University’s central repository
- user-tested best practice guidelines and procedures/workflows for data preservation
- a set of case studies of how to (or cautionary tales of how not to) manage data preservation in the Humanities
We hope that a more intangible outcome of the project will be increased and improved dialogue between researchers and repository managers, central service providers, developers and users.
