Abstract

The rapid development of digital technologies for representing space combined with an ongoing explosion in potentially relevant data sources to which these technologies might be applied have led to a growing number of digital humanities projects that work at the nexus of space and experience. These bring together in new, creative and productive ways a wide array of source materials that illuminate relationships among place, event, and people. In order to inform the design and development of a new digital humanities platform that aims to provide a low-cost, sustainable solution to implementing projects, the People-Event-Place (PEP) project (2013-2014) surveyed the most commonly deployed features and functionalities that such a platform would need to incorporate, and interrogated the intellectual and practical issues that such a platform would need to address. This paper describes the PEP project’s core aims, activities and findings.
