“We find that Twitter follow relationships reflect common academic interests and are closely tied to scholars’ pre-existing social ties and conference or event co-attendance.”
“Communication is an integral part of scholarly practice. Indeed much work in the sociology of science has stressed that disciplines only flourish if an invisible college is established to facilitate communication and exchange among its members.”
“Twitter for many DH scholars is a conversation, one that takes place through a single tweet or a series of interactive tweets, and in relation to other discourses online and offline, both inside and outside their disciplines. Conversations, retweets and follows on Twitter all help DH scholars to feel they are part of the community, which keeps its strength through digital media.”
Sample, Mark. "The digital humanities is not about building, it's about sharing." Blog. samplereality. May 5, 2011. http://www.samplereality.com/2011/05/25/the-digital-humanities-is-not-about-building-its-about-sharing/
“The promise of the digital is not in the way it allows us to ask new questions because of digital tools or because of new methodologies made possible by those tools. The promise is in the way the digital reshapes the representation, sharing, and discussion of knowledge.”
“And we should no longer be content to make our work public achingly slowly along ingrained routes, authors and readers alike delayed by innumerable gateways limiting knowledge production and sharing.”
“The ‘builders’ will build and the ‘thinkers’ will think, but all of us, no matter where we fall on this false divide, we all need to share. Because we can.”

Momentary Conclusion
The data, images and links on Twitter themselves form a collection. One immediately accessible, a product of and shareable in our hybrid digital and physical culture.
These assets are a meta-collection and perhaps point to a meta-narrative about the Digital Collections 2016 Summer Institute.
This collection, like all collections, is incomplete. Discussions, experiences and memories are not all captured and documented. Data may be missing.
It can be added to through the contribution of other voices now and in the future. The humanistic process of digital art history is ongoing.
