 Note: Knowledge Commons began as a project of the Modern Language Association, the largest scholarly society in the humanities. In 2012 I was serving as the association's first Director of Scholarly Communication, and was working to think about how the digital transformation was changing not only the ways that scholars communicated with one another but also the reasons they joined professional societies. In the past, getting access to the society's journal or attending the annual meeting was focal, but those drivers were becoming less important. We posited, however, that the ability to *participate* in the ongoing conversations sponsored by the society would be a draw, and so in 2013 we launched **MLA Commons**, the first node on what would become the Knowledge Commons network.

-- Knowledge Commons thus has its roots in the humanities, which have been historically underserved in the research infrastructure space; when we first began work on the project, not only did few research communication platforms include the humanities in their fields of interest, but those that did too often lumped all arts and humanities fields together in a single bucket (while maintaining infinite distinctions among the various subfields of physics and chemistry), with the result that even those scholars who wanted to use these platforms to make their work openly available to the world had trouble getting traction, because their community of practice could not find them and coalesce around the shared work.

 - We began developing the Commons with the sense that, in encouraging knowledge creators of all kinds to do more of their work in open, collaborative ways, the most significant problem we needed to solve was social rather than technical: we needed to encourage not just individual scholars but scholarly *communities* to join us, to find and engage with one another in building a digital commons. In growing the Commons we first reached out the fields adjacent to modern languages, launching the interdisciplinary **Humanities Commons** in 2016.
