Institutional repositories and student work in digital humanities

Institutional repositories (IR) preserve the scholarly work of the university’s students and researchers. How are IR and scholars working together to preserve digital scholarly work? The following articles examine how digital scholarly work is utilizing IR in academic libraries. Overall, the authors encourage more institutional support and rally IR administrators and librarians to find opportunities to advocate for the maintenance and accessibility of preserved digital projects, such as career development and storytelling. Additionally, adjusting workflows and scholarly expectations in order to find a middle ground and connect with students expresses intentionality and can provide a better context when preserving digital projects.
