Areas of Specialization: Digital Archives and Digital Humanities

Whether your company or academic press has an established primary sources publishing program or is just considering entering the market, GMC has the hands-on experience and long-term, strategic partner relationships to help your business grow and be successful.

Publishers are increasingly shifting their content and services to better meet demands in the burgeoning field of digital humanities education and research. This not only includes adding dynamic visualizations tools and advanced text and data mining software to existing platforms, but changes to the models and formats in which content is provided (content as data).

Recognizing the natural intersection between large, primary source collections and digital humanities research techniques, GMC has been actively working to support efforts in these areas. With publishing experience as a provider of content, and as a student-practitioner in digital humanities-driven research, GMC will bring this experience to bear on your company’s own efforts to meet this area of growing demand—and revenue growth.
