“Finding, Cultivating, and Sustaining Support for Your DH Project.”

This year’s NYCDH Week will kick off with a roundtable that will bring into conversation a variety of perspectives on the services, structures, and approaches necessary to conceive of and execute successful digital projects from experts in this field.
