Mellon Grant Extension Boosts Digital Humanities Graduate Training Program.

It’s always interesting to see the funding trends in the area of the “digital humanities.” In this case, the buzz is about UVA’s “Library’s Scholars’ Lab” getting additional grant funding. Here’s an additional note on where the money’s going:

Nice work Clioweb!
