From the opportunity webpage:

What you will learn

Over four days, participants will learn:

• how to formulate humanities questions that are amenable to computational analysis;
• how to apply state-of-the-art AI algorithms to study visual and multimodal collections;
• how to develop custom AI annotations to understand an image archive of their choice;
• the theory and method of distant viewing.

How to apply

Applications are due by 31 October 2026 and include:

• a CV or résumé;
• a statement of interest (300–500 words) that addresses your current research or interests related to distant viewing or visual culture, what you hope to gain from the workshop, and (optionally) how you might apply what you learn. Please also briefly describe any relevant technical background you have, such as prior coursework, tools you’ve used, or related projects.

You are welcome to apply for either workshop or for both. Each participant will attend only one of the two.

The CollectionBuilder team is accepting proposals that “enhance, extend, experiment with, and/or document CollectionBuilder.” This opportunity is grant-funded and will pay a small budget to accepted proposals, which are open between September 24 and October 9, 2026. From the program website:

Projects should be re-useable enhancements and resources that benefit the CollectionBuilder community with new tools, ideas, and solutions (while also supporting new contributors). Potential ideas include, but are in no way limited to:

• CollectionBuilder Built Ons (reusable templates that extends and remixes CB for new purposes).
• CB Add Ons (documented packages that add new features to CollectionBuilder projects, providing self-contained dependencies, templates, and recipes. They generally support unusual formats or functionality beyond Items found in typical collections).
• Porting CB from Jekyll to another static generator or framework.
• Create a theming system or new curated themes that can swap into the default template.
• Create new documentation content such as interactive walkthroughs, workshop content, or special topics that would be useful to the community, such as how to improve accessibility, carry out user testing in digital collections, build in digital preservation practices, or solutions for deploying sites in the wild.
• Create new tools that support collection creation, management, or preservation that simplify workflows for users.

Interested developers can submit their proposals in the linked form on the webpage.

Funding cuts to international development assistance are threatening the digital archives, records, and datasets held by UN agencies, NGOs, and faith-based organizations. In response, the creators of the Humanitarian Archive Toolkit, the Humanitarian Archive Emergency (HAE), which is a global initiative led by the Humanitarian and Conflict Response Institute at the University of Manchester, with support from the Leverhulme Trust, Wellcome Trust, and partner organizations, is conducting a worldwide census to identify which collections are most at risk and what would be lost without action. The project aims to identify which bodies of humanitarian knowledge are most endangered, understand the threats driving that risk, and assess what would be lost if preservation action is not taken. As they note, “it is not an inventory exercise or a data rescue intervention: it is the evidentiary foundation on which any informed, equitable response must be built.”

To submit an example to the project registry, fill out their survey. Data is stored on GDPR-compliant servers, and no personal identifying information will be shared or retained beyond the project’s end in October 2026.

The DigitalArc team is seeking reviewers for its community-archiving toolkit. The DigitalArc Toolkit provides adaptable guidelines for local communities to document and share their own stories, on their terms, through the creation and ongoing management of their digital archives. This process includes: planning, collecting stories, prepping personal and community records, and publishing the stories. Funded by the Digital Justice Development Grant program at the American Council of Learned Societies, their goal is to support local communities in documenting and preserving their stories.

The team’s aim with this review process is to improve the Toolkit, ensuring that it can clearly and concisely communicate with community members outside of academic or other institutional contexts. What works well and what needs tweaking? As a reviewer, you may choose to remain anonymous or identify yourselves throughout the process.

If you are interested in participating in this open peer review, please have a look at the instructions. The team would like to gather feedback by 29 May 2026.

Forward any questions to the DigitalArc team at digitalarcplatform[at]gmail.com.

The Association for Computers and the Humanities (ACH) has launched a new Special Interest Group (SIG), DH and the Environment, focused on the environmental entanglements of digital humanities infrastructures, practices, and communities.
