This document focuses specifically on the initial stages of a digital humanities project: engaging a collaborator and setting expectations. Description: The “Engaging a Collaborator” best practices document is intended as a guideline for scholars in the humanities who seek to work with professionals in other fields in order to enhance their research with digital tools. 2015-07-23T00:00:00Z
