Digital Sepoltuario will offer students, scholars, and the general public a groundbreaking online resource for the study of commemorative culture in medieval and Renaissance Florence. The forthcoming website will include an illustrated digital catalogue of the city's tomb monuments that recreates the memorial landscape of the pre-modern city. Florence's extensive commemorative culture was developed and propagated through often elaborate and beautifully decorated tombs.
Digital Skriker explores both the theoretical cruxes and archival possibilities enabled by robust and increasingly accessible motion capture and virtual reality technologies using Caryl Churchill’s play, The Skriker (1994) as a case study. Kelli Shermeyer, a doctoral candidate in UVA's English department, is interested in not only in how these technologies might change the way we think about documenting stage movement and gesture, but also how they may be used to create modes of (posthuman?) performance.
Digital Yoknapatawpha is a collaboration of 35 Faulkner scholars from 34 colleges and universities with a highly experienced digital humanities team at the University of Virginia. The project aims to complete the analysis of every location, character and event in Faulkner’s Yoknapatawpha fictions—14 novels and 54 stories. As both resource and publication, the project is creating transformative pathways into and new critical insights about one of the nation’s central imaginative accomplishments.
This electronic database consists of 1,750 manuscript documents related to the construction of the original buildings of Thomas Jefferson's nineteenth-century architectural masterpiece, the University of Virginia, in Charlottesville, Virginia. When completed, it will consist of transcriptions and annotations for the documents, nearly 3,000 digital images from microfilm and from originals for many of those documents, a book-length historical narrative based on those documents, and hundreds of digital photographs of the university's historic grounds.

The ECDA has two primary related, overarching goals: the first is to uncover and make accessible a literary history of the Caribbean written or related by black, enslaved, Creole, indigenous, and/or colonized people. Although the first step in this process is digitization, the ECDA is more than a digitization or cataloging initiative.
Christianity has historically invested the idea of kinship with strong religious meanings. The faithful have been imagined as an idealized family of brothers and sisters and, collectively, as the bride-wife of a divine husband. Few, if any Christians, however, have gone to the lengths or the literalism of Mormonism in comprehending salvation within kinship and investing kin with priestly saving powers.
This project investigates to what degree the physical structure of the extant fabric has a determining effect on the form of the later medieval addition through the development of multi-dimensional dynamic models for a series of case studies. This archaeological information will then be integrated into consideration of issues of contemporary culture such as program, patronage and external stylistic influences to create a holistic study of the design process for each case study.
