Great article that explores the four aspects of #sustainability for #digitalhumanities projects and asks if sustainability is always necessary.

Three great community engagement #archives projects.

#DigitalHumanities FTW! "... were able to confirm the manuscript’s authenticity after Harvard Law School photographed it under ultraviolet light and then subjected it to various levels of spectral imaging, a technique which can enhance aspects of historical documents undetectable to the human eye."

Another essential #digitalhumanities reading about sustainable digital projects. This time from the #libraries perspective on digital project #preservation. This is the 2nd companion article shared tonight. #archives #dh. ideah.pubpub.org/pub/mfid9ero...

More recommended reading if you do #digitalhumanities and want to build sustainable digital projects > from a developer's perspective. "... sustainability is more likely if designed from the beginning…” 1st of 2 companion articles. #dh ideah.pubpub.org/pub/4jr4csbv...

Recommended reading if you do #dh and are concerned about sustainability and preservation. Well organized & written, activities, templates & add'l resources for those who want to facilitate this as a workshop series. #digitalhumanities #digitalscholarship sites.haa.pitt.edu/sustainabili...

I am excited to teach this workshop next THURS., APR. 17 (7pm Eastern) for the NGS GenTech Toolbox workshop series. Learn how to use ArcGIS StoryMaps for engaging multimedia #familyhistory storytelling. Participants will build a sandbox #genealogy StoryMap. Register today! Workshop will be recorded.

Which #NARA facilities have you done in-person #research at, and ordered records from remotely? Which do you most often obtain records from (digitized collections online excluded)? #history #genealogy #familyhistory #archives

“This project is fabulous primarily for its use of new technology to recover the material culture of the past, which may survive physically but remain inaccessible for a variety of reasons.” #archives #digitalhumanities #dh

Been thinking about what I can do in light of what is happening in the US. Probably not a lot. However maybe some infrastructure to alert about ICE & Immigration raids on Bluesky might be of use? So here is the 1st iteration of the "Ice Raid Alert Feed" (How it currently works in next post)

Do you research families and communities of #Mexican origin? I'm partnering with Legacy Family Tree Webinars for another year of the Mexico Research series. Use the link in my blog post to REGISTER TODAY for the 2025 series. All live webinars are FREE (pre-registration is required). #affiliatelink

Buenos días de Rosarito, BC, México. Este vacaciones es solamente para relajarme en el país de media de mis antepasados.

My Thanksgiving weekend view. We escaped to our usual #Rosarito, Baja California, #Mexico getaway for a long quiet weekend of #rest and great food.

It feels good to get a shout-out from a #CSUF History grad school alum on his digital project about the Cristero War and diaspora. I worked with him for several years, teaching & consulting on #DH tools & methods, copyright, and Mexican & Mex-Am genealogy sources and methods. #digitalhumanities

Hey #DH #PH #journalism Friends where might the research team I am on promote our exhibit and work to a public audience in newspapers, etc? news.northeastern.edu/2024/10/31/a...

Like I really need another excuse to go back to Dublin, Ireland and Trinity College Library again. But this is #Immersive version of the Book of Kells exhibit sounds incredible. #libraries #ImmersiveExperiences

I made this for dinner tonight on this chilly drizzly So Cal evening. It's one of our favorite soups and so easy to make, by one of my favorite #keto and #carnivore food bloggers. I get 4 servings out of this instead of the 6 claimed in the recipe. #recipes

I just finished watching the recording of this excellent #genealogy #skillbuilding #methodology webinar by my friend and colleague @yhoitink.bsky.social for Legacy Family Tree Webinars. I highly recommend it. Great presentation, Yvette! #research #data #analysis

Eventually this campus #DigitalHumanities Canvas community site will include training materials & reusable course modules. But would like to hear what has/not worked for your #DH Canvas community site if you have one. 3/3

None of us want more emails for group announcements, shared tips, showcasing projects, brainstorming, etc., among our campus #DH community. 1/2 #DigitalHumanities

Do any of my #DigitalHumanities colleagues have a Canvas community site as an online community space for your DH-interested faculty, students, and staff? After 2 years of working with campus DH Fellows, I'm setting one up because Canvas is the only platform everyone uses aside from email. 1/3

Quienes son mis otras genealogistas? Que paises o regiones estudian ustedes? Estudio principalimente el estado de San Luis Potosí, Mexico, la patria de mis antepesados paternos. #Genealogia

#Genealogy get-to-know-you: I'm in a definite niche with my academic work and pro genealogy work, teaching #genealogy in an academic setting, particularly from an #EthnicStudies perspective. I also mix my academic #digitalhumanities work into my pro scholarly genealogy teaching and research.

#Genealogy get-to-know-you Years researching: 27 Hobbyist or pro: Pro Fun fact: I've taken both parents on trips to visit their ancestral homes in Mexico (Dad) and Ireland (Mom) & emigration points. My niche/s: Mexican & Chicano, 20th century U.S. immigration, WWI U.S., technology, academic genie.

We spent a rainy afternoon yesterday #hiking to Twin Falls in Ollalie State Park, Washngton. #waterfalls #parks #outdoors

Our daughter made this for #brunch this weekend while my husband and I are visiting her in Seattle. She looked for something #keto for me. It’s delicious. I’ve made Gina’s Skinny Taste #recipes for years, but had missed this one. This would be great for #mealprep too.

We got in a nice 4.67 mile hike and picnic lunch today with beautiful views of Puget Sound at Discovery Park.

Having a lazy vacation morning is such a good way to recharge after two weeks of heavy day job and side job teaching. We’re in Seattle visiting our daughter and SIL. My granddoggy and I have been snuggling all morning while I enjoy coffee with a view of Puget Sound.

Dolly is so amazing. This world needs more celebrities like her, using their talent, money, and influence for good. #libraries

Gorgeous! My 2nd great-grandparents emigrated to the U.S. from that port (then Queenstown) in the 1880s. I stayed in one of those colorful historic homes in 2019. #familyhistory

"The ship was surprised by Japanese battleships on March 1, 1942, in the Indian Ocean... There were 185 U.S. Navy personnel and 31 U.S. Army Air Force pilots aboard at the time, the Navy said." - via @npr.org. #history #WWII

"Among the diverse array of uncatalogued and miscellaneous material are lists of enslaved people, held as ‘castle slaves’ in the British forts along the west coast of Africa." #history #archives

Ever wonder how Sanborn maps were made and kept updated? This excellent 2008 docu video by Jim Epstein provides a fascinating look at the history of Sanborn maps. (I'm been teaching public history students about these this semester.) #maps #history #genealogy

Another great resources for learning more about using #SanbornMaps for urban community studies through this video case study by the Louisiana Trust for Historic Preservation. #maps #history #genealogy

This is an excellent guide to interpreting the symbology on historical #Sanbornmaps, built on #ArcGISStoryMaps by Clint Tomlinson with the Ohio State University Libraries. arcg.is/PT9ry #history #maps #genealogy
