It uses the affordances of digital media to make an argument, and the media are a crucial part of our argument, I hope you will agree. We could do the same project on paper, or with string and paper and glue, but it would lose some thing or many things.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Question: What would an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vocabulary.com\/dictionary\/analog\">analog<\/a> version of our mapping project look like? What would our mapping project lose if it was done without digital media? What would it gain? <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Digital projects almost always require collaborative labor; computing resources; and project planning for building, sustaining, sharing, and <a href=\"https:\/\/scholarslab.lib.virginia.edu\/blog\/archiving-dh-part-3-the-long-view\/\">ending a project<\/a>, which we sometimes call &#8220;sunsetting.&#8221;\u00a0<em>It is our responsibility as scholars who made a digital thing to think critically about its &#8220;life&#8221; after launch, create a care plan, and execute that plan.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>What does it mean to sustain a digital project?<\/strong>&nbsp;That depends on the project and its goals. Basically project managers consider how to: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Continue to <strong>build<\/strong> on the project &#8211; who will build on it, when will this happen? <\/li><li>Continue to <strong>maintain<\/strong> the project &#8211; who will fix bugs, update broken links, and make sure the project continues to work? <\/li><li>Continue to <strong>support<\/strong> the project, in terms of resources (hardware, software, hosting, etc.). Who supports the project now and who will do so in the future, until the sunset date? <\/li><li>Continue to <strong>share<\/strong> the project: who is in charge of sharing it now, and in the future, and how will this take place? <\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>What does it mean to &#8220;sunset&#8221; a project?&nbsp;Project&nbsp;managers&nbsp;plan&nbsp;for&nbsp;the&nbsp;end-of-life&nbsp;of&nbsp;a&nbsp;project&nbsp;and&nbsp;consider: <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>How long should this project live for?&nbsp;Set a date to begin and end the &#8220;sunsetting&#8221; period.<\/li><li>Decide if the project can and\/or should be archived in a non-digital form? If so, make a project plan to achieve that.<\/li><li>Consider that for some projects, the right &#8220;sunsetting&#8221; plan is to simply pick an end-date to delete the project.
