24x7 Presentations

The Islandora digital humanities platform systematically integrates a number of applications and services into a single system built to facilitate the activities of humanities scholars. Digital humanities projects are often “one-offs” from a technology perspective: they focus on a single activity or set of activities and function independently from one another. The Islandora platform, in collaboration with a number of digital humanities stakeholders, takes an integrated approach that combines a variety of front-end scholarly tools with a robust digital preservation back-end. This presentation will showcase the main features of the platform, discuss the roadmap for the next year, and highlight opportunities for future collaborations.
