What’s new in Digital Humanities? Matthew Kirschenbaum tasked his undergraduate English class (ENGL668K) at the University of Maryland with a critical curation assignmentĀ “to provide primary and secondary documentation answering the question, ‘What has happened in digital humanities that hadn’t yet happened on January 22, 2013 (the day before we started our class)?'” The resulting websiteĀ brings together myriad resources and interpretations, including a timelineĀ of “significant events that took place in the history of libraries, archives, and museums” in early 2013 and a Zotero group library.

As Kirschenbaum comments: “This site strikes me as a ācabinet of curiositiesā in the best tradition of the Web, that is rather than a unified, coherent body of content it is willfully (and necessarily) partial, eclectic, diversified, and subjective.”
