[ 95 —-1 —0 —+1 Looks Like We Made It, But Are We Sustaining Digital Scholarship? Chelsea A . M . Gardner , Gwynaeth M c Intyre , Kaitlyn Solberg , and Lisa Tweten T he increasing amount of digital projects relating to the ield of antiquity is especially promising for the future of traditionally archaic academic ields, including Ancient History, Classics, and Classical Archaeology. An enor- mous number of fragile, irreplaceable artifacts have survived from antiquity, but only a small number are accessible to the public. he vast majority are housed in storage rooms or isolated collections in museums and universities, as well as private collections around the world. For decades, this global scattering of antiquity resulted in widespread inaccessibility to ancient artifacts for both teaching and research. hrough the process of digitization and the increased presence of online databases, these materials are inally becoming available to a wider audience. 1 How, then, does digitization relate precisely to making? In our case, our small- scale digitization project From Stone to Screen (FSTS) has challenged the expected raison d’être of Classics by shiting research from literary critiques and histori- cal analysis to the creation of several websites and digital versions of over a thou- sand artifacts. We strive to deliver fragments of history through the digital recon- struction of these artifacts. We encourage interaction through teaching modules designed for our digitized collections, and we are “making” by creating spaces where students can interact with ancient objects without fear of damaging irre- placeable artifacts. Universities are exerting increasing pressure on individual scholars to become involved in digital endeavors; 2 however, such work should meet the same standards of relevance and applicability as any other academic work. As a case study, this chapter presents how FSTS approaches the “hree Rs” for creating sustainable digi- tal humanities (DH) projects: Research, Relevance, and Replicability, a framework we created for practicality and mnemonic convenience, but also because we irmly believe these three principles should underpin any DH project. part II ][ Chapter 9 540-69799_ch01_1Pa.indd 95 08/18/17 11:56 am
