On September 18th, Digital Humanities @ Berkeley hosted the Bay Area Digital Humanities Meetup at the Magnes Collection for Jewish Art and Life. Started earlier this year, the Bay Area DH Meetup seeks to foster ties between industry, the academy, and the public to promote DH scholarship.To celebrate HackTheHearst, a 10-day hackathon for the Phoebe A. Hearst Museum of Anthropology, we gathered the digital humanities community to discuss digital collections, both large and small, and the tools that support them. The Bay Area Digital Humanities Meetup was one of numerous events in September discussing museums and archives; others included Research IT's reading group meeting on Digital Asset Management Systems (DAMS) and Michael Buckland and Clifford Lynch's Information Access Seminar on the past and future role of museums.
