“…Digital curation involves the preservation, promotion, and access to digital cultural heritage data as well as the migration of data into new formats, linking data or adding contextual information (Poole, 2013 ; Sabharwal, 2015 ). Library and information studies focus on the application of technical achievements to library operations and services (Hayes, 1985 ).…”

This article considers the interdisciplinary opportunities and challenges of working with digital cultural heritage, such as digitized historical newspapers, and proposes an integrated digital hermeneutics workflow to combine purely disciplinary research approaches from computer science, humanities, and library work. Common interests and motivations of the above-mentioned disciplines have resulted in interdisciplinary projects and collaborations such as the NewsEye project, which is working on novel solutions on how digital heritage data is (re)searched, accessed, used, and analyzed. We argue that collaborations of different disciplines can benefit from a good understanding of the workflows and traditions of each of the disciplines involved but must find integrated approaches to successfully exploit the full potential of digitized sources.The paper is furthermore providing an insight into digital tools, methods, and hermeneutics in action, showing that integrated interdisciplinary research needs to build something in between the disciplines while respecting and understanding each other's expertise and expectations.

“…They take place in specific periods and situations defined by policies, legislation, validation failures and the need for format modifications (Higgins, 2008). Sabharwal (2015) exemplifies each DCLM action from the perspective of Archives, Libraries and Museums, and concludes that the model has useful resources for the conceptualization, implementation and appraisal of digital information. For the author, conceptualization is the most important and necessary action before implementing the DCLM, as it requires execution according to each organizational structure and with types of collections and interests, as they are variables that directly impact on action planning (Sabharwal, 2015).…”

“…Therefore, the emphasis is given to informational subjects and the community of interest for three reasons: preparing the information to make it efficient and effective to meet the contextual needs of the subjects; establishing direct communication with sending items, comments and suggestions from the community to the curator (Sabharwal, 2015); and making the custodied information follow a flow of circulation and reach the subjects regardless of the support or medium (Araújo, 2018).…”

Digital Curation and Information Design in digital environments: women’s museums panorama

Women’s museums take on significant functions for social discussions which, through preservation and access to the memory and culture of their collections, provide new habits and perspectives on objects constituted by structures of multiple languages on the Web. In this perspective, this study aims to understand how Digital Curation and Information Design in Information Science contribute to information presentation, access and sharing in these digital environments on the Web. The general objective was to contextualize the concepts and definitions of Digital Curation and Information Design to identify possible articulations for information organization and its presentation of women’s museums digital collections. The study is qualitative in nature and descriptive-exploratory. It consisted of a bibliographic review of the themes correlated with data collection in the scope of collections and digital environments of women’s museums, through information from the International Association of Women’s Museums and Patrimonio en Femenino. The results showed a low number of digital collections available and also the need for reflection on the methodology of planning and creating digital environments as a laboratorial process, continuous, in perpetual beta, iterative and in successive improvements. The study concluded that other dimensions of women’s memory preservation should be constituted to facilitate information access and sharing with the implementation of Digital Curation and Information Design resources for the construction of environments and, in them, their collections.

“…Digital humanists are increasingly cognizant of the salience of digital curation to their work (Kornbluh, 2008; Munoz, 2013; Poole, 2013, 2016, forthcoming; Sabharwal, 2015). But digital humanists often adopt a narrower definition of digital curation than scholars in ILS.…”

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to dissect key issues and debates in digital humanities, an emerging field of theory and practice. Digital humanities stands greatly to impact the Information and Library Science (ILS) professions (and vice versa) as well as the traditional humanities disciplines. Design/methodology/approach This paper explores the contours of digital humanities as a field, touching upon fundamental issues related to the field’s coalescence and thus to its structure and epistemology. It looks at the ways in which digital humanities brings new approaches and sheds new light on manifold humanities foci. Findings Digital humanities work represents a vital new current of interdisciplinary, collaborative intellectual activity both in- and outside the academy; it merits particular attention from ILS. Research limitations/implications This paper helps potential stakeholders understand the intellectual and practical framework of the digital humanities and “its relationship” to their own intellectual and professional work. Originality/value This paper critically synthesizes previous scholarly work in digital humanities. It has particular value for those in ILS, a community that has proven especially receptive to the field, as well as to scholars working in many humanities disciplines. Digital humanities has already made an important impact on both LIS and the humanities; its impact is sure to grow.
