How does DH fit into our work?

Build with intention

• Ask why: What are the project's main goals? How can digital tools help you achieve those?

Do no harm

• Reflect on ethical impacts of sharing resources and stories on the web

Embrace failure

• Ask yourself: is the solution troubleshooting, using a new tool or model, or going low or no tech?
