Information
provided on the Mellon Foundation
website regarding grants for the year 2004 and years prior
to 1997 is not specific enough to determine the amount of
funding devoted to projects related to technology in the
humanities and social sciences. Further, there is a modicum of
ambiguity regarding the primary discipline for some projects; my
approach to this is addressed in the
notes.
Summary:
Digitization (the creation of digital archives, digital images
for ArtSTOR, etc.) became the most frequently funded project
type in 1998 and remained so through 2003. Scholarly publishing
(efforts to promote online repositories, journals, etc.) was the
next most commonly funded project type. A detailed list of the
projects categorized below can be
found here.
More information regarding noteworthy projects coming soon.
