The Digital Scholars / DH Reading Group and Collaboratory at FSU has enjoyed 10 years of engagement. With other resources now available for fostering DH discussions, research, and teaching across campus, the group has retired. From Spring 2010 to Spring 2020, the Digital Scholars group conducted open monthly meetings during the academic semester. Some meetings included guest presentations while others involved hands-on workshops in addition to group-generated discussion topics.
