New article out on code4lib:
"Static Web Methodology as a Sustainable Approach to Digital Humanities Projects"
This short paper introduces static web development methodology (titled “Lib-Static”) as a provocation to rethink DH infrastructure choices, asking how our frameworks can build internal skills, collaboration, and empowerment to generate more sustainable digital projects.
Code4Lib: Distant Listening: Using Python and Apps Scripts to Text Mine and Tag Oral History Collections. “Designed for oral history project managers, the workflow empowers student workers to generate, modify, and expand subject tags during transcription editing, thereby enhancing the overall accuracy and discoverability of the collection. The paper details the workflow, surveys challenges […]

The new semester @uniheidelberg starts for my colleagues on Monday. For me, though, it doesn't start until Thursday. Before then, I'll be at the University of Lausanne, and I'm really looking forward to the exchange there! https://www.unil.ch/events/1743669571086 #ComputationalTheology #DigitalHumanities
#PhD job in the Dept. of Language and Information Sciences at the University of Lausanne: my colleague Davide Picca has an open PhD position starting on October 1, 2025 in an SNSF-funded project focused on the computational analysis of Charles S. #Peirce’s manuscripts.
Deadline for application: May 19, 2025
New #OpenAccess publication: Feminist #DigitalHumanities: Intersections in Practice
Our volume edited by Lisa Marie Rhody and Susan Schreibman is finally out! The collection explores how #feminist theory shapes DH practice, infrastructure, and pedagogy.
The book is now available via University of Illinois Press:

Thanks to the institutions who supported its OA publication. Please share with colleagues, request it at your library, and give us feedback!
We all know folks in the humanities who have lost grants this last week or two.
The Roy Rosenzweig Center for History and New Media shared grants terminated through their center. All of them so worthy, all of them so exciting, so innovative.
Crushing.
Read more here. Their work is so vital, and while it sounds like the center itself is ok, not a bad time to show support.

Great presentation on #MultilingualDH by @alizhorvathaliz, @cosima_wagner and @djwrisley in the context of @dariaheu. Loved Cosima’s and David’s performance of an exemplary interview situation that highlighted so many of the nuanced barriers to taking up #DigitalHumanities methods in multilingual settings that go far beyond “can it do RTL” and that are also structural/institutional.
New Pre-Print
We introduce the "Corpus of Resolutions: UN Security Council (CR-UNSC)", a novel international legal-political dataset containing texts and metadata for all resolutions of the United Nations Security Council (UNSC) from resolution 1 (1946) through resolution 2722 (2024), as published by the UN Digital Library (UNDL).
The dataset provides full resolution texts in all six official UN languages, draft texts and full meeting records in English, as well as dozens of metadata variables, for a grand total of 82 variables in structured tabular CSV format, accompanied by extensive narrative documentation. In addition to the main tabular dataset the CR-UNSC is accompanied by specialized variants for network analysis and bibliography management.
The computational workflow is engineered as a fully automated end-to-end extract-transform-load (ETL) data pipeline with citation analysis and NLP components, unit tests and extensive reporting. The declarative workflow is fault-tolerant, resumable and stores intermediate results in over one hundred individual checkpoints. The code is published open source under the GNU General Public License Version 3 (GPLv3).
We intend to update the corpus at least once per year.
The most recent version of the CR-UNSC corpus will always be available open access via Zenodo through its Concept DOI located at https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.7319783

'Personally, I don't define DH. Definitions should be done by others than myself. But I have a pretty clear understanding what I think DH is: DH is the 'place' where various disciplines meet, especially informatics and humanities. There are numerous of problems that can only be solved if those expertises are brought together. The project I'm working on - SeNeReKo - is a great example for such co-operation of multiple disciplines.' Jürgen Knauth 01.01.2014 #DigitalHumanities #WhatIsDH
