Comments for THATCamp Milwaukee 2014 http://milwaukee2014.thatcamp.org Just another THATCamp site Sat, 24 May 2014 03:06:38 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=4.9.12 Comment on Propose by Ellen Joyce http://milwaukee2014.thatcamp.org/propose/#comment-2169 Sat, 24 May 2014 03:06:38 +0000 http://milwaukee2013.thatcamp.org/?page_id=8#comment-2169 I would like to propose a session about using Scripto to organize crowdsourcing projects with cultural heritage resources. Specifically, I’d like to talk about how to use transcription tools (are there others?) to get students, alumni, and community members working with our extensive archival collections of documents dating from the Civil War through to the present and to create online communities of transcribers, editors, and researchers. So far I haven’t even managed to get Scripto installed as a plug-in to Omeka (or any other platform), so I am seeking both technical assistance and an opportunity to brainstorm about pedagogical and community-building opportunities!

1) Will voting on sessions take place Friday or Saturday?
2) What time will sessions begin on Saturday?

I ask as one of perhaps several unable to attend Friday’s bootcamp but very much looking forward to Saturday’s events . . . .

]]> Comment on Session Proposal: How do we use the digitized archive? (a “talk” session) by Jenn Fishman http://milwaukee2014.thatcamp.org/2014/05/18/session-proposal-how-do-we-use-the-digitized-archive-a-talk-session/#comment-2165 Tue, 20 May 2014 05:24:49 +0000 http://milwaukee2014.thatcamp.org/?p=323#comment-2165 I think this session sounds great, Ann! I’m especially interested in thinking about the methodological questions digital archives raise. My sense, through some of my own work with large digital archives of student writing, is that our questions aren’t always well matched to the materials we can now access and the methods we have for analyzing those materials.

Perhaps of course, “best practices” are rapidly evolving, too. What can/should anyone claim when they work only with the digital portion of a larger archive? How does the process of deciding what goes online matter to answering that question? And how, then, should digital researchers and digital archivists be working together? Be recognized as collaborators?

All to say, I’ll be looking forward—and voting for this session!
