Item From the Trenches: Cross-campus Digital History Collaboration(2018-04-04) Lucadamo, Amy; Isherwood, Ian A.; Miessler, R.C.; Fleming, Jenna; O'Donnell, MeghanIn September 2015, our team launched The First World War Letters of H.J.C. Peirs (www.jackpeirs.org), a digital history initiative built on collaboration between faculty, students, and library staff. The project is founded on amazing primary source material, but with limited financial support and little dedicated staff time. We leveraged the creativity and hard work of our team members to build a website that is maintained by students and enhanced whenever possible with features and commentary from faculty and staff. Members of #TeamPeirs will discuss the evolution of the project, the nature of our collaboration, and the intersection of audiences we have discovered.
