Cyberinfrastructure and the Human Record“Digital cultural heritage resources are a fundamental dataset for the humanities…… combined with computer networks and software tools, [they] now shape the way that scholars [and all interested people] discover and make sense of the human record… … [and] the way their findings are communicated to students, colleagues, and the general public.”
"The Report of the American Council of Learned Societies Commission on Cyberinfrastructure for the Humanities and Social Sciences." American Council of Learned Societies (2006)
