On September 28, 2010, the NEH hosted the fourth annual Digital Humanities Start-Up Grant Project Directors Meeting [1]. 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 [2]. 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 [3], Part 2 [4], Part 3 [5], and Part 4 [6]. 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!
