• Project C - Timeline Storymap of Digital Humanities

• How to sell this to the public

• The humanities are just as much a part of contemporary cutting edge technologies as the STEM fields

• Someway of framing this with carrying the message across from the get go

• History of the two fields being bridged together, not really focused on

• One influencing the other

• Email professor about this intersecting timeline between the two

• Repository of the history of influences on the field

• What tools should be used?

• Knight Lab platforms

The humanities field is just as essential as STEM, and there are endless opportunities to bridge the two fields together for a more effective and collaborative workforce. This, however, is not often reflected in contemporary discourse, so producing a storymap tracking the creation and rise of digital humanities initiatives can illustrate to audiences that our society is recognizing the benefits of connecting these two fields together.

The final product will feature a storymap and an article contextualizing the data points.

Week 5-6

Compilation of Data (Location, information about initiative, public mentions, pictures, etc.)

Draft article

Week 7-8  

Organize data points into the storymap

Finish article

Week 8-9

Test storymap and revise article

Things to consider: interviewing those involved in said iniatives?

4. “Across Photoarchive files, researchers can make their own connections among themes of portraiture and emptiness, and artists like Water Gay, Joseph Ducreux, and Goya and his followers.” Know Your Meme Article http://www.frick.org/photoarchive/discoveries/know_your_meme

1. http://networkedcorpus.com/

2. "provides a new way to navigate large collections of texts. Using a statistical method called topic modeling, it creates links between passages that share common vocabularies, while also showing in detail the way in which the topic modeling program has “read” the texts. We are using the Networked Corpus to analyze earlier genres and concepts of topical knowledge from the development of commonplacing, anthologizing, and indexing in the early modern period through the nineteenth century"; provides Python script for others to use”
