UO Digital Scholarship Librarian Kate Thornhill is part of a team of researchers and technologists who were awarded a Digital Humanities Advancement Grant from the (NEH) for their project Learn-Static.

Learn-Static is a hub for Digital Humanities-focused static web teaching modules and project templates. The two primary aims are to

1. Offer learning modules that cover fundamental introductory concepts in static web development, such Markdown, HTML, CSS, and working with GitHub
2. Provide templates and documentation that humanities instructors can use to develop static web projects in their own classes

Thornhill collaborated with Professor Mattie Burkert, Director of the DH Minor, and students in her spring 2022 Technologies and Texts capstone course to develop the Environmental Justice Research Repository using Learn-Static methods and tools.
