How can we:

little access to computers or the internet
    ensure that our research processes and analysis take maximum
advantage of the access to data provided by digital methods
    embed our analysis in accessible data to allow verification of our claims
    enable research based on digital data from archival sources
    develop tools and processes that accumulate data in
standards-conformant formats
