The Advanced Research Consortium (ARC) is a vibrant community of researchers who peer review and curate cultural heritage materials for Humanities research. Since 2004 with the founding of NINES, ARC has the dual goals of providing a vetting community for digital scholarship in particular fields and a technological infrastructure to support development of digital scholarly projects and access to such scholarship. The ARC community seeks to develop itself towards greater cultural inclusiveness.
There are three ways to join ARC: becoming a peer reviewer, submitting a project to ARC or one of its nodes, or proposing a new research node.
