About the Institute
In 2009 and 2010, with generous support from the National Endowment for the Humanities, the Scholars’ Lab at the University of Virginia Library hosted three tracks of an “Institute for Enabling Geospatial Scholarship.” This website — which our participants dubbed not a clearinghouse but a “sharing-house” — was released in 2011 to serve as a community-driven resource for the spatial humanities.
