Presenting The Corr-Proust Wiki

Day of DH 2021: Multilingual DH

Open Hour: Using Microsoft SharePoint and MediaWiki for a Multilingual DH Project

April 29, 2021, 3:30-4:30 CT

Our open hour welcomes students, scholars, and others working in DH interested in discussing strategies for adapting Microsoft Office 365’s cloud-hosted Sharepoint along with MediaWiki for multilingual DH projects. Our team’s experience comes from our work on the Corr-Proust project, a collaboration of scholars at French and American institutions publishing a digital, annotated edition of the correspondence of the French writer Marcel Proust. Our project uses Microsoft Office’s SharePoint as a multilingual interface to manage workflow and store data, and MediaWiki as a platform for crowdsourcing translations of Proust’s letters.

You can also follow Corr-Proust on Twitter.

Our Day of DH open hour is finished now, but keep an eye on this space for links to our presentations.
