“Documenting the Now” was a project that aimed to create archival tools for Twitter that would aid in the ethical and user-oriented collection of Twitter data. The project was initially created to help save records of online social justice movements, specifically that of Black Lives Matter.

The goal of this website is to evaluate the project “Documenting the Now” for its use of best practices within the field of digital humanities.
