💡 Always Already Computational: Collections as Data has been succeeded by Collections as Data: Part to Whole. $600,000 has been awarded to 12 teams to advance collections as data implementation and use.💡
From 2016-2018 Always Already Computational: Collections as Data documented, iterated on, and shared current and potential approaches to developing cultural heritage collections that support computationally-driven research and teaching. With funding from the Institute of Museum and Library Services, Always Already Computational held two national forums, organized multiple workshops, shared project outcomes in disciplinary and professional conferences, and generated nearly a dozen deliverables meant to guide institutions as they consider development of collections as data.
The final report and project deliverables can be found here.
