Dr. Eric Kaltman, SHFT founder, and Dr. Joseph C. Osborn of Pomona College have received a joint grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities to continue work on the Game and Interactive Scholarship Toolkit (GISST). This $146,000 was provided by the NEH's Digital Humanities Advancement Grant (DHAG) program, and provides project funding through the end of 2024. The grant is a Level II Implementation grant, and the goal is to apply for a follow-on project toward the end of 2024. Students at CI and Pomona will support the grant work through testing and game play file generation.

Lab PI, Dr. Eric Kaltman, was selected for a CLIR Pocket Burgundy Award along with the Software Preservation Network Technological Infrastructure Working Group to write a short report entitled, "An Overview of Emulation as a Preservation Method." The goal of this CLIR program is to provide reports on emerging or important advances for libraries. CLIR will work to disseminate the report when it is published in 2024.

SHFT Group associates Desireé Caldera, Adam Larson, Morgan McMurray, and Matilda Orona presented posters on their research efforts at the Southern California Conference for Undergraduate Research (SCCUR). Caldera, Larson, and McMurray presented their work "Evaluating Emulation Workflows for Historical Software and Data". This work is tied to SHFT's continuing efforts in determining digital preservation workflows for software preservation.

Above, Matilda Orona presents her work on "Investigating the Effects of Adobe Flash Deprecation for Online Preservation Efforts."
