\"\"Departing from the oft-asked question of \u201cHow do I know when my project is finished?\u201d, this presentation centers around the question \u201cHow do I end my digital project, even if I don\u2019t think it\u2019s done?\u201d Though various criteria have been proposed for evaluating the \u201cdone-ness\u201d of a project (see, for example, this\u00a0Digital Humanities Quarterly 2009 article<\/a><\/em>), there has been little discussion about how to ensure that your project is archivable, accessible, and stable even if the project\u2019s primary objects\u2014say, an edition of a text\u2014do not completely meet your project\u2019s definition of \u201cdone.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Endings project<\/a>, based out of the University of Victoria, is a collaborative project between digital humanities programmers, project directors, and university librarians that focuses less on content-based \u201cdone-ness\u201d and more on best practices for archivable and sustainable scholarship. While the digital projects that form the core of the Endings project\u2014The Robert Graves Diary, Le Mariage Sous L\u2019Ancien R\u00e9gime, The Nxa\u0294amxc\u00edn Dictionary Project<\/em>, and The Map of Early Modern London<\/em>,\u2014are all at varying stages of completion, they share a common set of principles that lead to maximum archivability and accessibility.<\/p>\n

In this presentation, Takeda discusses two of these projects at either end of the completion spectrum: The Robert Graves Diary<\/a><\/em>, which was technically finished in the mid-2000s but required significant upgrades throughout the last decade; and The Map of Early Modern London<\/a><\/em>, a long-standing project whose many objectives include a complete set of the extant mayoral pageants of London from 1585 to 1639 by 2022. Through these projects, Takeda explores and shares what makes a project \u201cEndings-compliant\u201d and offers up some best principles for thinking about how to end your digital humanities project from the start.<\/p>\n
