How Did They Do It? Building Digital Collections with Scholarly Impact
DLA Speaker Series

Join our invited speakers Gimena del Rio Rained and doctoral student Gabriel A. Calarco as they demonstrate how minimal computing principles can transform digital humanities projects. Discover how they created a digital edition of “Viaje al Río de la Plata (1534-1554)” using sustainable, open-access workflows that prioritize accessibility and longevity over resource-intensive solutions.

Learn from their practical approach to digital scholarship that embraces minimal computing's core values: low barriers to entry, environmental sustainability, and global accessibility. See how they leveraged lightweight tools and streamlined workflows to build an engaging, searchable digital publication that remains functional across different technological contexts and reaches communities worldwide.

Hosted by Jennifer Isasi, director of the Digital Liberal Arts Research Initiatives
