Digital Scholarship Specialist Alicia Peaker published a chapter titled "Our Marathon: The Role of Graduate Student and Library Labor in Making the Boston Bombing Digital Archive" in Digital Humanities, Libraries, and Partnerships: A Critical Examination of Labor, Networks, and Community, edited by Robin Kear and Kate Joranson. Alicia is co-PI on a Pennsylvania Consortium for the Liberal Arts (PCLA) Opportunity Grant titled "Sustainable Digital Scholarship Summer Programs through Consortial Collaboration," and will be guest teaching in an NEH Institute for Advanced Topics in the Digital Humanities for the course "Textual Data and Digital Texts in the Undergraduate Classroom" hosted at Mississippi State University in July.
Alicia was also accepted into the Digital Humanities Research Institute hosted at the CUNY Grad Center this June 10-20. As part of her participation in the 10-day intensive, she will be developing a similar institute, open to faculty, staff, and graduate students, to run through the Tri-Co Digital Scholarship group next year.
Rachel Starry has been working on a new addition to Bryn Mawr’s ongoing History of Women in Science project, which has so far built a 3D map of Dalton Hall. Rachel’s interactive map, built with R and Shiny, expands on the project by tracking the careers of women who earned science degrees at Bryn Mawr from the early twentieth century. The project will be released later this summer.
In April, Archaeology's Zach Silvia, Rachel Starry, and Andrew Tharler jointly hosted a workshop as part of the Bryn Mawr College Graduate Community of Learning on the digital mapping and spatial analysis technologies ArcGIS, CARTO, Leaflet, OdysseyJS, and Story Maps.
The 2017-18 cohort of Digital Scholarship Graduate Assistants included Alex Brey, Stella Fritzell, Elena Gittleman, Taylor Hobson, Samantha Klein, and Danielle Perry. These students worked on individual professional development and digital scholarship training projects.
