The ACLS is pleased to announce that "Our Cultural Commonwealth: The final report of the American Council of Learned Societies Commission on Cyberinfrastructure for the Humanities & Social Sciences" was released December 13, 2006.

 

In 2004, ACLS appointed the Commission and charged it to recommend how the humanities and social sciences could develop online research environments that would empower scholars and students.  The Commission, chaired by John Unsworth, Dean of the Graduate School of Library and Information Science and Professor of English at the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign, has worked over two years to present a guide to achieving that goal. 

 

A grant from the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation supported the work of the Commission and the publication of the report. 

 

Additional print and digital copies of Our Cultural Commonwealth may be obtained at no charge at http://www.acls.org/cyberinfrastructure/.
