Scholar-Curated Worksets for Analysis, Reuse & Dissemination (SCWAReD) from the HathiTrust Research Center

The Scholar-Curated Worksets for Analysis, Reuse & Dissemination (SCWAReD) project, generously supported by the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, is producing a suite of curated, targeted worksets of materials from the HathiTrust Digital Library, facilitated by its Research Center (HTRC). HTRC worksets are user-created collections of HathiTrust volumes that can be treated as data and analyzed using a variety of tools and services. The special mission of SCWAReD is to highlight and center the work of historically under- resourced and marginalized textual communities. For this purpose, a flagship project and four sub-projects were selected competitively; each of them explores new methods for creating, analyzing, and reusing curated digital library collections and the research data derived from them.
