Pauline A. Saliga (Project Director: July 2009 to April 2016)

A pilot project to develop the infrastructure for Buildings of the United States, an online database on architectural history.

BUS, an award-winning publication series sponsored by SAH, has a mission to record & interpret all American architecture on a state-by-state basis. SAH has published 12 authoritative, peer-reviewed print volumes. SAH now plans to partner with University of Virginia Press to publish BUS ONLINE, the first peer-reviewed, comprehensive, robust online database of American architecture. BUS ONLINE will be the foundation for two web sites: (1) BUS-H, an open access, free public web site that will present the histories of up to 150 buildings from each state in the US; and (2) BUS-SE, a subscription based web site containing the thousands of building entries in the BUS database that will be developed for both the general public and scholars alike. This is a planning grant request to enable SAH and UVaP to create the editorial, technical, legal, and financial framework to launch and sustain BUS ONLINE as an unprecedented nationally-focused database of the American built environment.

Collaboration at its Best: How Dozens of Digital Humanists Helped a Learned Society Create Three Online Academic Resources in Four Years (Article)
Title: Collaboration at its Best: How Dozens of Digital Humanists Helped a Learned Society Create Three Online Academic Resources in Four Years
Author: Ann Whiteside
Author: Pauline Saliga
Abstract: Between 2008 and 2012, the Society of Architectural Historians (SAH) launched three online academic resources that provide new models for peer review and academic publishing. With funding from the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation and the National Endowment for the Humanities, SAH developed the following: SAHARA (http://www.sah.org/publications-and-research/ sahara; launched 2009), a shared image archive for teaching and research; JSAH Online (http://www.sah.org/publications-and-research/jsah; launched 2010), a multimedia scholarly journal; and SAH Archipedia (http://sah-archipedia.org/; launched 2012), an online encyclopedia of the global built environment. This article discusses the collaborations—with librarians, scholars, publishers, technology providers, and funders—necessary to create and sustain these new digital humanities resources. The authors also share lessons learned for all who plan to create digital academic resources.
