The Digital Humanitiesʼ resources and projects may be displayed and promoted to the wider community with the use of a wide variety of technological tools. Pinterest becomes a very convenient and accessible option because, on the one hand, it provides a series of “boards” that function as exhibition areas that support the display of projects, books, films, exhibits, conferences, lectures and competitions related to the DH field; and, on the other hand, it encourages the tagging of all these resources with “pins” in order to interconnect them with the wider world.
Ms. Whsyel expressed that Pinterest is an important technology tool for the DH community because it provides an opportunity to showcase exhibitions within a high traffic environment. Noreen Whyselʼs event Pinterest as Exhibition Gallery included a one-hour introductory explanation followed by a one-hour of workshop for all its participants.
