GLAMorous Collaboration: Supporting Digital Humanities Faculty Research Projects
In 2017, the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation awarded the University of Oregon Libraries and the Jordan Schnitzer Museum of Art a grant to support enhanced collaboration among campus libraries and museums. One outcome was to increase the use of GLAM (galleries, libraries, archives, museums) assets in research, teaching, and learning. The grant provided funds to hire the first joint library/museum postdoctoral fellow and two graduate assistants to help support six digital scholarship faculty projects to develop new exhibitions, learning objects, and coursework. This presentation will briefly address supporting and mentoring grant-funded staff, project team organization across organizations and departments, and overcoming administrative challenges pre- and during the COVID-19 pandemic.
