    The Digital Humanities Observatory ceased its activities in August 2013. One of its legacies was this gateway to digital collections and resources from Irish museums, archives, galleries and universities, which provides online access to collections of letters, drawings, paintings, books, music and spoken word recordings, photographs, films and television programmes. The contributing institutions include national bodies like RTÉ Archive and The National Gallery of Ireland, and the Irish Traditional Music Archive, as well as smaller collections of cultural significance, such as the Doegen Records Web Project: a digital archive of Irish dialect recordings made during 1928-31 which comprises early Irish language recordings of folktales, songs and other material.

    One of the site’s most interesting features is its Discovery page which not only lets users to search across the portal’s different collections, but also allows the results to be displayed in a variety of data visualisations, including Bubble Visualisations, Dendrograms, Word Clouds, Tree-Maps and Node Links. The visualisation options are accompanied by useful notes, explaining suitability and offering tips for users on which visualisations are most appropriate for displaying and exploring different kinds of data.

    In 2009 over 850 cans of film were rescued from a discard pile at a defunct Russian Cultural Centre in Amman, Jordan. Eventually they came to the attention of Matthew Epler, an American who was then teaching in Jordan. This website was created by Epler with the aim of use crowdsourcing to identify and translate the labels on the cans, with a view to eventually digitising the films and creating an online resource for scholars and researchers, as well as recovering the history of what appears to be a culturally significant find.

    Epler and his colleagues photographed the label on each can and created an online database of images, with fields for researchers to comment. So far, with the assistance of interested researchers, nearly 600 labels have been translated. The material spans five decades from the 1930s to the 1980s and most of it comes from SovExportFilm, a Soviet film agency. A number of clips have been digitised and can be viewed here. Among the films identified so far are a documentary confirmed to be part of the PLO Film Archive, lost since 1985; footage of King Hussein in 1968 addressing the United Nations in the aftermath of the Six Day War and documentary footage of Jerusalem in 1968 and its aftermath.

    The site is currently (Nov. 2014) inactive but some of the footage can still be viewed on the Moving Image Archive News site.
