Using WordPress for Interdisciplinary Research
summary
A digital archive for the Digital Intangible Heritage of Asia (DIHA) uses WordPress as a research platform, aggregating project pages, asset subpages and downloadable datasets with multilingual transcripts; it relies on Divi page builder for custom layouts and Formidable Forms to let non‑technical staff add structured metadata without touching the WP dashboard. One field project documents about 30 people across disciplines; a planned “research support file” will auto‑link people to projects. The archive is campus‑hosted on Campus Press and functions as a working, maintained prototype.
