Today my colleagues Matthew Battles, Pablo Barria and I presented the Curarium project to this year’s class of Berkman Center fellows, as well as a lively group of Berkman friends and Berkmaniacs. Curarium is a platform designed to leverage the power of the crowd in order to annotate, curate, and augment works within and beyond their respective collections, with the aim of constructing sharable, media-rich stories and elaborate arguments about individual items as well as groups of items in our corpora. We will gradually roll the platform out over the course of the fall and early winter, so make sure to sign up via the Curarium.com website if you would like regular updates on the project.

Willow Brugh drew up the following Prezi sketch of today’s presentation and discussion:
