Jamal Russell and Teddy Roland - Project Prospectus

Abstract

We request a Level I Digital Humanities Advancement Grant of $33,000 in order to develop a modular, open-source Docker-based workflow for the purpose of preserving, deploying, and studying the software architectures and environments of Digital Humanities project websites and works of electronic literature developed on various platforms. The main deliverable of this grant period will be a thoroughly tested, modular workflow that will employ Docker container stacks to preserve and deploy these digital objects in an architectural configuration of the humanities scholar's choosing. The containerized versions of these sites and electronic literature works will have an additional feature designed into their respective architectures: a CodeMirror module that will expose the code of the object along side an instantiation of the object itself. Over the course of the grant period, this workflow will be tested on a pilot corpus of 50 mocked and solicited WordPress websites and JavaScript-based electronic literature works. We envision the end result of this project being the development of a preservation workflow and tool that, along with being a valuable, shareable, and cost-effective means of preserving objects of research, can also be studied as a materialization of specific theories of preservation and practice-based media study, such as critical making and applied media theory.
