John Nicholas Brown Center Humanities Resource Database 


STG lead(s): Elli Mylonas

STG designed a database-driven interface for cataloguing humanities institutions and their associated collections, programs, and experts. Bill McIver, Visiting Assistant Professor (CS), implemented PHP class definitions and other code for wrapping MySQL databases conveniently for use in HTML forms applications. Carole Mah implemented a complex web-based browsing, authoring, and editing environment for the project's 32-table relational database, extending McIver's PHP class tools and using them as a basis for modular code. Clair Iltis performed design work for the website.  

The Humanities Resource Database was developed by the John Nicholas Brown Center and the Scholarly Technology Group at Brown University to survey existing research resources throughout New England as part of the National Endowment for the Humanities Regional Humanities Centers Planning Grant Initiatives.
