Open Scholarship

The Hamilton Digital Commons is an open archive for scholarly and creative works by Hamilton College faculty, students and staff. The first work was added to the Hamilton Digital Commons in November 2016.

The Digital Humanities initiative (DHi) is a collaboratory—digital parlance for a research and teaching collaboration - where new media and computing technologies are used to promote humanities-based teaching, research, and scholarship across the liberal arts. DHi creates opportunities for new interdisciplinary models and methods of collaboration between faculty and students.

The library's growing collection of primary and secondary source materials relating to American communal societies, the Lesser Antilles, Ezra Pound, jazz, Hamilton College and more are available online.

Open Access is the free, immediate, online availability of research articles, coupled with the rights to use these articles fully in the digital environment.

Open educational resources are any type of educational materials that are in the public domain or introduced with an open license. The nature of these open materials means that anyone can legally and freely copy, use, adapt and re-share them.
