The final session of THATCamp GTA discussed DiSc: Digital Scholarship GTA, a website for networking and information sharing amongst people involved in Digital Scholarship in the GTA.

In this session, we discussed possible collaboration with DH Commons, a hub for connecting people with projects and the tools that enable them. The website will be launching soon, and you can sign up to be a beta tester.
