Jade, what field are you in? I see your profile on the Campers page notes that you are exploring career paths in DH?

Comment on Virtual Virtues: What works and does not work for presenting manuscript material online by Dhanashree Thorat

James, I was wondering if you were also going to look at digital archives which deliberately thwart user access/experience? (For instance, indigenous digital archives that have different access levels for elders of the community, for that community, and for general users, etc). I am interested in digital archives that are experiential and try to give users not only information about a subject, but try to immerse them in it.

When you talk about the contested definition of “comics,” especially with the kind of quotation marks that merit their own element in TEI, I get the feeling that you’re dancing around another term: prestige. Scholarship has shied away from a number of genres with potentially learned authors and high circulation and cultural impact, genres including declamation and paradoxical encomia and comics, because they lack prestige or fall under the heading of “low” literature. Does the digital toolset give scholars a way to challenge that barrier of generic prestige directly?

I absolutely love this proposal. I think that it’s the only one so far to use the word “honorable.”

Thanks, Jim, for this session proposal. If ‘the medium is the message’, it’s always interested me how the digital presence of archives mediates their use. I look forward to others’ thoughts on this topic in this session! I wonder if there is a way to combine this with the digital newspaper session that was also proposed by UF?

This is a great idea, especially with the Matheson Museum in attendance!

Good morning,

THATCamps are collaboratively scheduled events, so we’ll create the final schedule as a group during the first hour of the day on Friday. The schedule framework, which we will complete with a listing of activities, discussions, and events, will be ready by 9:30am on Friday. The schedule framework which will be completely filled in is here: docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/tPJYTYEmR3uD4tJQIQH1uzw/htmlview

The scheduling may seem strange (I thought it was a crazy idea that could not be effective), but it works amazingly well and ensures that participants are interested in and participate in the sessions. It would be wonderful to have you join us for scheduling at 8:30am.

Best wishes,
Laurie N. Taylor
Digital Scholarship Librarian

Please send times for the Camp and if there is a list of sessions being offered THIS YEAR, what are they and what time will they be offered?

All great questions – Jake Greene, one of our in-house ARC experts, and other TRACErs, would be able to address all of them at the session!

We are planning to make this a hybrid talk/make session, with some art supplies so that attendees can make their own Sequentials!
