This $149,999 Project Grant award from the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) Office of Digital Humanities (CFDA 45.169) supports the "Making the Digital Dance" initiative. The project aims to create digital infrastructure and tools to increase access to archival dance information. Specifically, the research team will prototype a "Dance Data Commons" based on Wikidata integration, and develop data exchange capabilities between this commons and four existing digital performing arts archives. Key partners include the University of Alabama, the University of Texas at Austin, and dance archives such as Jacob's Pillow, Brooklyn Academy of Music, and Liz Lerman. This two-year project, running from June 2024 to May 2026, leverages previous NEH-funded work to expand digital access to dance collections.
