Summary
This Zotero library was created by Research Assistant Clare Nelson as part of a Mutual Mentoring Advancement grant. M2AP focuses on individual faculty-designed mutual mentoring initiatives with self-defined goals, which offer faculty members an opportunity to create a mentoring experience that involves groups of peers, near peers, and senior colleagues from within and/or outside Northeastern.
This Zotero library contains a wide variety of resources that relate directly to and/or could be useful for mentoring students in the digital humanities. Each entry contains the following metadata as available and relevant: item type, title, author(s), date(s), abstract, and URL along with accessed, added, and modified dates. Below is a summary of the library’s contents and organization.

Universities
This category includes three types of resources: university/college DH programs, the Praxis Network, and supporting documents created by grant Research Assistant Clare Nelson. The abstract of each university program includes the name of the university and key words and phrases from the program’s mission statement. The supporting documents contain information relating to mission statements/about sections and a breakdown of institutions’ initiatives as row and column data.
The tagging system includes both key components/focuses of the programs (i.e. global digital humanities, department/library affiliation, spatial humanities, etc.) and research focuses. Research focuses are indicated by “project:” followed by the topic/subject.
Websites and Wikis
Each of these websites and wikis offer resources that will be valuable to those practicing DH. These include materials on rethinking approaches to higher education, suggested readings, resources for K-12 education, events lists, and guides to tools and platforms.
We hope that these resources will be helpful to many in the DH community!
