Rebekah Cummings

Director

As the Director of Digital Matters I work closely with our partner colleges to coordinate digital humanities research, instruction, and support at the U. I have been a librarian at the Marriott Library since 2013, serving in a variety of roles including Assistant Director of the Mountain West Digital Library (2013-2015), Data Management Librarian (2015-2018), and Digital Matters Librarian/Director since 2018. My research interests include humanities data management, copyright, collections as data, and library advocacy.
