Introducing Year 1 Research Faculty
We’re inviting nine experienced professionals to join our Historypin Research Faculty for a one year commitment to research and document the potential of distributed storage models, as well as develop an ethical framework within which such models would need to operate in order to benefit small cultural memory organizations. There will be an option to renew for a second year.
Historypin Research Faculty will meet together monthly via Zoom with Shift Collective and Historypin staff, Technical Advisors, and Institutional Partner Representatives to discuss findings and move toward the drafting of an ethical framework and potential technical prototype. We will also be holding a broader public meeting quarterly to share our findings with the field. We will have one in-person meeting in New Orleans on November 7, 2023 to finalize our draft ethical framework document, which is the primary deliverable for 2023.
