Pleiades 2 Final Performance Report: July 2014

In funding NYU’s request for 3 years’ support of the Pleiades project, the National Endowment for the Humanities endorsed the goal we articulated in our proposal: to attract, engage, and retain the animated community of users (scholars, students, and enthusiasts alike) that had begun to coalesce around Pleiades’ then­unique model of online, open historical geography. We sought to deliver not only a free website and dataset, but an active user community, capable of carrying on collaborative content curation for many years to come. We are happy to report that we have succeeded in meeting this goal.
