Hi, Bluesky, we are DigitalArc! 👋 Funded by @acls1919, we advance community-led archiving projects in the Midwest, offering communities options for exhibiting & managing their own stories. We believe communities, not just institutions, should decide how things appear in the historical record.

It was an absolute joy to coauthor a piece on supporting text mining across disciplines with @hagman.bsky.social! Looking forward to reading the other pieces in this collection!

Excited to be joining #SHARP2025 virtually this morning! Massive thanks to the conference organizers and Liz Hoiem for accommodating multiple panelists joining from afar!

Too much to absorb at #buildingbooklabs25 to post, but I will be returning to the teaching techniques and advocacy strategies we discussed time and again over the next few months. Massive kudos to @skeuomorphpress.org and @ryancordell.org for bringing us together!

"My artist's book will not get me tenure but my article about the artist's book will. [...] Even though the artists book makes the argument better" We have to change our understanding of what citation looks like, what rigor means 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 #buildingbooklabs25

Very excited to kickoff #buildingbooklabs25 and to welcome so many #DHmakes folks! If you need some help wayfinding, please find me!

Massive thanks to our Sponsored Program Administration and our campus legal team for submitting an appeal to the NEH on our behalf! With all the battles going on right now, to have their support means more than words can express.

the loss of @neh-odh.bsky.social @nehgov.bsky.social and IMLS will undoubtedly impact humanities and digital humanities research and teaching for decades to come. Worse is the separation of the incredible staffs at those agencies who have decades of stewardship and leadership in cultural heritage.

It’s a heist movie but just with a bunch of humanities scholars trying to get their grant money back.

Welp, just received confirmation through eGMS that NEH Humanities Collections and Reference Resources grant was cancelled by DOGE.

[email protected] (which sent a letter of termination of our NEH HCRR to our Sponsored Programs Admin) is not an official NEH address. Check eGMS!!

Was happy to present a workshop with @maryton.bsky.social & Sarah Christensen on magic lantern slides, and using techniques in visual literacy to remix these historic materials to engage others in science. #AAASmtg Images of a few of our new species of “Boston butterflies”.

Realizing just how many of these words are in my currently funded and under review grants under the NEH.

Anyone got tutorials on how to web archive Esri Story Maps content? #dh

In case you missed it, here is my position paper from #MLA25 as a blog post about the relationship between #DH and #BookHistory in my work! It was such a fun roundtable, and I loved hearing my fellow panelists' thoughts! alexandraewingate.com/2025/01/10/b...

Happy St. Nicholas Day!

Deeply appreciate posts like these that explain how the tool works without using technobabble but with very concrete descriptions of how this could shape your use of an AI tool.❤️

In our review of digital scholarship guides, we have options for "YIKES" and "Burn it all down"
