I also work for a small historic house museum with an extremely limited budget. I’ve been planning DH projects for us that will utilize open-source (free) technologies, but there are still no guarantees that these digital initiatives will get more visitors through the door.

Are there other museums, libraries, and / or historical societies with similar needs, collections, goals and interests you could team up with? Pooling resources and using open resources is one way to proceed.

I, for one, do not watch 18-minute YouTube videos!

Coming from a similar background as you and with an institution that claims similar goals, I’d also be interested in what people more experienced digital humanities research can offer about research (secondary or experiential) into successful media products and audience attention spans (do people really watch 18-minute youtube videos?).

Great topic. I used to follow D-Space becasue it seemed to have great potential. Its been 4-5 years since I checked it out closely, but it did seem a little too daunting for a small organization to use without hiring a developer to run it. That may have changed, but I’m also curious if there are other lightweight solutions to the problem.

You might also enjoy our timeline session if it happens. One of the things I want to talk about is the feasibility of including original documents from archives in our timelines as a source for student work.
