Abstract
The HumBox is an online space for the publication, sharing and managing of digital
humanities resources. It is also the hub of a community of humanities professionals
who are engaged in re-using and reviewing each other’s resources and making
connections with each other through the HumBox system. It was created as part
of the HumBox project, which was funded under the JISC/HEA Open Education
Resources (OER) programme and led by the Higher Education Academy Languages,
Linguistics and Area Studies (LLAS) Subject Centre, based at the University of
Southampton, in collaboration with the Subject Centres for English, History and
Philosophical and Religious Studies. The project ran from April 2009 to April 2010, and
since that time, the community of users on the HumBox has sustained the site and
grown in numbers.
