Digital Islamic Humanities Project
The Digital Islamic Humanities Project is a research initiative at Brown University. They host a series of frequent gatherings, workshops, symposia, and other kinds of research projects, all oriented around the digital study of the Islamic world.
International Digital Ephemera Project (IDEP)
This project of the UCLA Library presents collections with content from Armenia, Cuba, Egypt, Iran, Iraq, Israel, and South Africa ranging from fragile early 20th century newspapers to posters, postcards, cellphone videos, and much more. These collections represent significant content that was used during political movements, but that is ephemeral in nature and likely to be lost without proactive curation.
