An Inter-Disciplinary Approach to Web Programming: A Collaboration Between the University Archives and the Department of Computer Science

Computing in the Humanities, an undergraduate course at New York University, represents a unique collaboration between the Computer Science Department and the University Archives. The final assignment required students to select, digitize, and contextualize materials from the Archives’ collections in an interactive website. The design and implementation of the course incorporates four current and important trends in both disciplines. First, the professor and archivist worked closely together before and during the course, integrating the archival research component into the core mission of the course. Second, the students’ projects provided both increased subject access and dynamic Web content to the repository and meaningful work to the students. Third, this course produced students who “bridge” the needs of humanists with the capabilities of technology. Fourth, this course illustrated the growing importance of web programming in undergraduate computer science education.
