Hanzo, OII and IA receive transatlantic funding

It was announced today that 'The World Wide Web of Humanities project (Oxford Internet Institute and Hanzo Archives Ltd in the UK and Internet Archive in USA) is to be awarded funding under a transatlantic collaboration between JISC and the US's National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) - the First JISC/NEH Transatlantic Digitization Collaboration Grants.

The project is one of five digitisation projects to be awarded funding of around £600,000 ($1,150,000).

The World Wide Web of Humanities will create and assemble a suite of open source tools for data collection and curation, to support new methodologies for Internet research built around large collections of web data, using automated tools to extract, index, and analyze the data. The collection will be designed to help researchers and policy makers gain an understanding both of the state of the art of e-Humanities and of historical trends and developments in the field.
