One of my summer goals is to organize and share more of our templates and resources, as well as to write a bit about how we do digital scholarship at a small liberal arts college. Check out our new blog: alacy.sites.haverford.edu/dsblog/
DS Blog – A blog with resources, templates, and process-oriented pieces showing how we do DS at a small liberal arts college.
One of the ongoing challenges in managing digital projects is finding ways to contextualize individual contributions especially when those contributions represent part of a larger, long-term effort. This is especially true when working with student assistants and interns, who are often tasked with working on a phase of a bigger project whose full scope and history may not be immediately familiar to them.

Well worth a think: cumulative per capita contributions to #NEH funding vs. the incredible #humanities impact we bring to all 56 states/jurisdictions that we've been posting about here.

NEH staff are responsible stewards of #taxpayer $$, and the benefits for the American public are incalculable.

As an elder millennial, I could trade my lifetime of tax contributions to the NEH for one month of Netflix and have just enough left over to get some avocado toast if I split it with two other people
Line graph titled "What's my share of NEH appropriations" with a caption: "Between its founding in 1965 and fiscal year 2024, the National Endowment for the Humanities received congressional appropriations totaling $7.37 billion. NEH used this funding to support thousands of individuals and cultural organizations - both directly through various grant programs and indirectly through funds disbursed by the 56 state and jurisdictional humanities councils. Beyond these appropriations, grantees raised millions of dollars more from non-federal donors as part of grant matching requirements. To put NEH appropriations in perspective, this chart shows cumulative annual per capita contribution to NEH by age, that is, the total dollar amount the average taxpayer has given to NEH over their lifetime. A few relevant purchases are helpfully included to show what a person could have bought instead, had they kept their personal NEH contribution for themselves..." The x-axis ranges from 0 to 59 years old. The y-axis ranges from $0 to $30. At three ages, items that could have instead been purchased with an individual's lifetime NEH contribution are shown. At 13 years, an egg is plotted on the line with a dollar amount of $6.41 and the caption reads, "Just in time to feed a growth spurt, a person at 13 years old has contributed enough to NEH that they could instead purchase one dozen eggs ($6.23/dozen)." At 36 years, a popcorn bucket is plotted with a dollar amount of $18.20 and the caption reads, "Millennials who are at least 36 years old could exchange their nearly four decades worth of NEH support for a one month subscription to Netflix ($17.99/month)." At 50 years, a gasoline pump is plotted with the dollar amount of $26.00 and the caption reads, "Those 50 years old or older - who have been contributing to the agency for nearly its entire existence - could instead have saved that money to purchase about a half tank of gas (8 gallons at $3.23/gallon)."
