Scratching an itch

This pod­cast is quite old but well worth lis­ten­ing to if you are inter­ested in get­ting started in the dig­i­tal human­i­ties. Jeremy Boggs is the Human­i­ties Design Archi­tect at UVa’s Schao­larsLab.  In the record­ing of the pre­sen­ta­tion linked to in the blog post below, Jeremy talks about his expe­ri­ences work­ing on dig­i­tal projects an in the design of dig­i­tal tools for human­i­ties schol­ar­ship. The dri­ving force in dig­i­tal human­i­ties work, sim­i­lar to that in open source soft­ware devel­op­ment, is to ‘scratch an itch’.
