On DC's Legends of Tomorrow, various B-list super-heroes (don't tell them I said that-they prefer to be called Legends, thank you very much) travel through time to stop temporal aberrations from changing history as they know it. When a time pirate crash-lands in the 1860s and starts spreading a zombie virus or someone accidentally prompts George Lucas to drop out of film school, the Legends are there to get the Civil War and the creation of Indiana Jones back on track. Similar to the Legends' vow to keep the historical record unharmed, the Humanities Commons aims to preserve the scholarly works of its users. In "Oh, the Humanities! Creating Community With the Humanities Commons," Marydee Oja-la looks at this new repository and what it means for researchers who can now share ideas and collaborate on the platform.
