IMLS has awarded funding to the University of Texas at Austin for the next stage of development of PeriodO.
The University of Texas at Austin will significantly expand the usefulness of the PeriodO platform and dataset beyond archaeology to meet the needs of a broader audience of librarians, data managers, scholars, and students across the academic spectrum. Over the course of this two – year phase, the project will complete a set of visualization tools for searching and filtering in the graphic user interface and provide workshops with partners from a wide range of disciplines such as modern history, literature, library science, and museum studies, to explore the role PeriodO might play in the management and discoverability of their data.
