PRINTOn September 28, 2010, the NEH hosted the fourth annual Digital Humanities Start-Up Grant Project Directors Meeting. At the meeting, we highlighted the amazing 46 Start-Up projects funded during the last year. Each project director did a short, lightning-round presentation about their project. I'm happy to say that we have just posted videos of all the lightning round presentations on the new NEH YouTube channel. It was a really fun meeting and I'm glad we have these videos to share with the entire community.
We broke down the videos into four 20-minute segments: Part 1, Part 2, Part 3, and Part 4. In addition, below we have created shortcuts that will take you directly to any of the presentations. Thanks to all the great project directors for their talks!
