DigiPal is a digital platform of paleographical primary sources that provides free access to a rich collection of medieval English manuscripts. Developed by the Department of Digital Humanities at King’s College London, United Kingdom, this project is designed to offer a way for paleographers and scholars of medieval studies to compare hands of transcription and patterns from different periods in time. It is a great example in the field of digital humanities as it brings new methods to the study of medieval handwriting.

The Linguistic Data Consortium (LDC) creates, stores, and distributes language resources, in particular language corpora, for educational, governmental, and commercial purposes. At this time, the number of corpora available on the LDC platform exceeds 900, and new ones are added on a monthly basis. Since its founding in 1992, LDC has had thousands of members such as universities, libraries, government research laboratories, and corporations. While there is a plethora of language resources available to researchers these days, LDC continues to stand out by offering an unparalleled selection of carefully curated corpora combined with a variety of linguistic tools.

American Prison Newspapers is an open access digital collection of primary source newspapers residing on the JSTOR platform. It is one of Reveal Digital’s collections under the Diversity and Dissent Fund. As of late 2022, the collection contains 112 unique newspaper titles written and published from within American prisons, and approximately 8% of them originate from women’s prisons. The collection spans the late nineteenth century to the early twenty-first century. High-resolution images of the newspapers load well in the native interface and download quickly as PDFs, but the images in neither format meet accessibility standards for text-to-speech software. In general, this collection is of immeasurable value to students and researchers in a variety of fields, including the humanities, the social sciences, and the interdisciplinary field of social justice studies, despite JSTOR’s limitations on advanced searching and accessibility.
美国监狱报纸是一个开放获取的主要来源报纸的数字集合驻留在JSTOR平台上。它是Reveal Digital在多元化和异议基金(Diversity and Dissent Fund)下的藏品之一。截至2022年底，该收藏包括112份在美国监狱内撰写和出版的独特报纸，其中约8%来自女子监狱。这批藏品从19世纪末到21世纪初。报纸的高分辨率图像在本地界面中加载良好，并且以pdf格式下载也很快，但这两种格式的图像都不符合文本到语音软件的可访问性标准。总的来说，尽管JSTOR在高级搜索和可访问性方面存在限制，但该集合对各个领域的学生和研究人员具有不可估量的价值，包括人文科学、社会科学和社会正义研究的跨学科领域。

African American Sheet Music is a database created by the Center for Digital Scholarship located in John Hay Library at Brown University. It is a culturally rich database filled with sheet music, illustrations, lyrics, and music publishing history centering around the lives of African American composers, musicians, singers, dancers, and stage actors. Various descriptions have the holdings set between different collection dates; however, in the search filters researchers can search items between 1800 and 1926, with some years missing in between. African American Sheet Music contains a wealth of information about African American theater during eras such as the Antebellum South, the Civil War, Reconstruction, and Post-Reconstruction. In addition, there are important illustrations for blackface minstrelsy. Approximately 1,455 items are digitized and readily available for research usage.

IPUMs provides nine separate collections of harmonized data gathered from US and international sources. Harmonization makes it possible to directly compare different data sets, often from different countries or time periods, such as the first US Census in 1790 and the most recent in 2020. It is an open access resource developed and maintained at the University of Minnesota with funding from the National Science Foundation, the National Institutes of Health, and several private donors.

This resource provides a new way for people to investigate greenhouse gas emissions data from a wide variety of countries and from a global perspective. The creators of the database are aiming to inform corporate investors and policy makers, but it will be found by high school students and college students needing data for their papers concerning global warming. When researchers come across a new resource that provides global information on fossil fuel production and storage, the user should be cognizant of a bias to the presentation of the data. This resource is not immune to that issue. Overall, this resource is recommended, but the user should look carefully at the publishing source, the Carbon Tracker Initiative, to understand its motivations for creating this resource.

Constellate is a text analytics platform offered by ITHAKA, a nonprofit organization devoted to providing platforms for educational and research purposes. It uses data sources such as JSTOR, Portico, Chronicling America, DocSouth, South Asian Open Archive, and Reveal Digital. It is a great tool for users of these data sources who would like to engage in data analytics projects without any exposure to programming languages. Because Constellate was designed primarily for pedagogical purposes, ITHAKA offers a growing number of training workshops and documentations in text analysis methods, Python programming, and data visualization. The integrated design of document search, dataset builder, and visualization reduces the learning curve for beginners.

Social Justice Suite (SJS) is a collection of five HeinOnline databases in the areas of historical slavery, civil and human rights, and gun regulation and legislation. The databases were added between 2016 and 2022. The majority of the databases include Supreme Court briefs. Other databases include hearings, legislative histories, and Congressional Research Service (CRS) and Government Accountability Office (GAO) reports. Databases can be searched individually or at once. Scholarly articles are available only to HeinOnline Core subscribers. The databases are complimentary for Core subscribers and free to interested organizations (requires registration). SJS benefits from a clean and uncluttered interface, and the top navigational menu and search components are the same across databases.
