I just visited a site that 'archives' articles from 2015. The majority of links no longer works.
What to do? You could archive pages, and link to the archived pages (I've seen many people do this). But how durable is that? Will those archival sites exist still in 10 years time?
I'm used to consult books that are centuries old. That we're unable now to archive digital stuff for longer than a couple of years is terrifying. #archives#digitalhumanities
The Media History Digital Library (MHDL) is a free online resource, featuring millions of pages from the histories of #film, #broadcasting, and #recorded#sound. We provide access to industry trade papers, magazines, Hollywood pressbooks, technical journals, and more.
Lantern, the MHDL's full-text search platform, enables researchers to query specific words or phrases within scanned pages.
We hope the MHDL has had a transformative impact on the study of film & broadcasting history. The sources we have digitized for open access, and the large-scale queries that our platforms allow, have enabled ambitious research projects and the production of new knowledge.
We look forward to sharing interesting content from our collection and learning about projects that use the MHDL.
I'm looking for post-doc research opportunities or web/software development roles, ideally a combination, as in digital humanities research.
My previous research experience is in heritage and higher education for the arts.
My PhD was about knowledge frameworks and the affordances of digital tools and representations in research, in relation to research reuse, transparency and inclusivity.
I would love to be able to contribute more to innovative work on research and knowledge representations.
I am open to new possibilities! In particular I am interested in the possibility of becoming involved in sustainability and biodiversity-related research.
I am a full-stack web developer, and have a good deal of front-end design experience. I am open to all opportunities, particularly remote working!
I am not great at this self-promotion thing...
I will be putting a portfolio site online soon, but am happy to share a CV with anyone who is interested in the meantime.
Hello Mastodon World #Introduction!

This is a great opportunity for a recent Ph.D., MLIS, or M.A. in Archives to spend a year working with researchers and archivists to improve access to undigitized primary sources.
So capitalism is dead and we are in a new age of technofeudalism?
A situation where a privileged class controls the essential digital infrastructure and individuals and corporations from the period of capitalism are forced to pay rent or risk eviction. 🤔 :awesome_rotate: 🤔
Today, we at the National Archives have officially released an open base-model for handwriting recognition. It works best on Swedish manuscripts from about 1650 - 1900.
By basic model it is meant that it has two intended areas of use:
To HTR large amounts of images of handwritten text with good enough quality to index the text for search.
To function as a starting point for using own training data to create more specialized HTR models.
In case you're curious what we're up to in the undergrad #AI class that counts for humanities or social science distribution requirements at Stanford, I've posted the syllabus here. More notes, materials, resources and adjustments to come! #DigitalHumanities
Archäogaming ist eine ungewöhnliche Kombination aus zwei eigentlich fremden Feldern - so scheint es auf den ersten Blick. Und doch sind Computerspiele nicht nur ein kulturell wichtiges Element, sondern können auch ein Werkzeug in der Archäologie sein, so Aris Politopoulos in einem Vortrag im Rahmen des Colloquiums in Digital Cultural Heritage.
Michael Doppelfeld fasst den Vortrag für ➡ Digital Humanities Cologne zusammen:
Looking for a unique job that needs imagination and technical expertise; linking the worlds of ancient manuscripts and algorithms, historical newspapers and large language models? Make a difference at one of the world's biggest libraries
In Oldenburg an der UB ist übrigens eine unbefristete E13 als Referent:in für #DigitalHumanities ausgeschrieben. Man hat dort auf jeden Fall einen netten Chef und viel Gestaltungsspielraum. Wer nach unbefristeter Perspektive schaut, sich mit dem Schnittstellengebiet #DH an wissenschaftlichen Bibliotheken anfreunden kann und Lust hat, etwas aufzubauen, sollte da mal vorbeischauen.
Happy and honored to give a virtual keynote at the #CrossingFonds Symposium next week in Vancouver/online!
I will speak about conceptual analogues as a versatile vehicle to aid transdisciplinary collaboration in the intersecting contexts of #archives, #visualization and #design.

Beta of our spatial #TEI reading interface is now live! Still many things to add, enhance & fix (some of which we're aware, some not yet :-)
Consider it a minimum viable product and a basis we'll build on in the future. https://pausanias.rainersimon.io#buildinpublic#digitalhumanities
Guten Tag - lange überfällig: wir sind jetzt auch #neuhier. Das #MMZ in #Potsdam ist ein An-Institut der @unipotsdam. Seit 1992 forschen wir zur jüdischen Geschichte und Gegenwart in Europa und beherbergen eine außergewöhnliche Spezial-#Bibliothek. (https://www.mmz-potsdam.de/)
Today was the first meeting of the Stanford LitLab, and I thought I'd get into the spooky spirit in a dress of dead DH projects. Can't guarantee it's totally free of editorializing... #DHsewing#DigitalHumanities
I'm defending my thesis on Monday, January 22, 2024 at 9 a.m. (UTC-5) in Montreal.
