OPPORTUNITY: Mapping Black Digital and Public Humanities User Survey

The project team for Mapping the Black Digital and Public Humanities Database seeks user feedback on the beta version of their interactive database and visualizations. Mapping BDPH users are invited to complete a brief anonymous survey to “be used solely for the purpose of internal project improvement and development.”

The Mapping the Black Digital and Public Humanities database is a project created at James Madison University consisting of maps, visualizations, and a searchable database of black digital and public humanities projects. Stemming out of work on their project, Celebrating Simms, and inspired by the Colored Convention Project’s Black Digital Humanities Projects and Resources Google Doc and the Reviews in Digital Humanities journal’s project registry, Mapping BDPH is a partnership between JMU Libraries and graduate students to track, map, and visualize a broad range of Black digital and public humanities projects. The resulting beta project “is meant to be as much an invitation for others to participate in the ongoing development of this project to map the Black digital and public humanities as it is an early demonstration of what we hope this work can achieve.”
