Congratulations to CDSC!
Congratulations to the Caribbean Digital Scholarship Collective on the award of our Mellon Foundation Grant! Create Caribbean Founder and Director, Dr. Schuyler Esprit is a Co-PI on this grant and the Research Institute is one of its sub-awardees. The grant allows Create Caribbean to expand its existing higher education programs in Dominica and the Eastern Caribbean, and to develop new Caribbean projects and partnerships in Caribbean Digital Scholarship. Stay tuned for more on the collective. We look forward to the future of Create Caribbean, the CDSC and digital humanities in the Caribbean.
Congratulations too, to our director Dr. Schuyler Esprit, who has been elected to the Executive Board of The Digital Library of the Caribbean.
If you haven’t used this archive yet, it is a digital library that continues to grow as it builds partnerships that contribute access to more information. It plays a monumental role in sharing and preserving Caribbean histories and culture. Create Caribbean is also a partner you can click here to see our past contributions.

In Progress:
Visualizing Caribbean Literature Project
The Visualizing Caribbean Literature Project is an archive project which will provide a resource for analysis or general knowledge on Caribbean authors. It will allow users to see the bigger picture of Caribbean literature and can inspire new ideas from the visualizations of data from this research. Trends in Caribbean literature can be studied where tradition/history has changed literary work in the Caribbean, how Caribbean authors interact with each other literarily, and other categories. It aims to become a resource that is usable by any age group of researchers/ interested persons.
Create Caribbean interns enrolled in HIS115 (Digital Humanities Research) for the academic year 2021-22 will contribute to this project by working to develop a multimedia resource documenting Caribbean literary history with a searchable, annotated, and mapped timeline of Caribbean literature from 1800 to the present.
