Connecticut Humanities supports a series of working groups to strengthen collaboration, increase access to shared knowledge, and advance initiatives across all aspects of the humanities. While anchored within the Digital Humanities Department, these groups encompass a broad range of topics and projects, from oral history and cultural data to open culture and publishing. These collaborative hubs welcome individuals and organizations engaged in humanities work across Connecticut to discuss projects, share tools and practices, and build sustainable networks. Participation is open to anyone involved in or interested in the humanities throughout the state.
