Grant Overview

Target Outcomes for Institutes in South Dakota

The Institutes for Advanced Topics in the Digital Humanities Grants Program in South Dakota is focused on achieving specific outcomes that align with the state's unique cultural and geographical landscape. The program supports national or regional multistate training programs for scholars, humanities professionals, and advanced graduate students to broaden and extend their knowledge of digital humanities.

Advancing Digital Scholarship in Rural Areas

One of the primary target outcomes of this program in South Dakota is to advance digital scholarship in rural areas. The state's vast rural landscape and limited access to resources in these areas make it an ideal location for projects that aim to bridge the digital divide. The South Dakota State Historical Society, a key player in the state's cultural and historical preservation efforts, has been actively involved in digitizing historical records and making them accessible to the public. This program can build upon such initiatives and enhance the capacity of rural communities to engage with digital humanities.

Preserving Native American Cultural Heritage

South Dakota is home to several Native American reservations, including the Pine Ridge Reservation and the Rosebud Indian Reservation. The program prioritizes projects that preserve and promote Native American cultural heritage through digital means. This could involve the creation of digital archives, online exhibitions, or other initiatives that showcase the history and culture of Native American communities in the state. The Native American Cultural Center at the University of South Dakota is an example of an institution that could potentially partner with other organizations to develop such projects.

Building Capacity for Digital Humanities in the Region

The program also aims to build capacity for digital humanities in the region by supporting projects that bring together scholars, humanities professionals, and advanced graduate students from across the state and beyond. By fostering collaboration and knowledge-sharing among these stakeholders, the program can help to establish South Dakota as a hub for digital humanities in the region. The Missouri River, which runs through the state, has played a significant role in shaping the region's history and culture, and projects that explore this theme could be particularly relevant.
