Fwd: [PhillyDigitalHumanities] GLAM Hack Philly - Feb 1-2, 2014
by Dot Porter 22 Nov '13

22 Nov '13

Apologies for cross-posting. ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: *Chad Nelson* Date: Friday, November 22, 2013 Subject: [PhillyDigitalHumanities] GLAM Hack Philly - Feb 1-2, 2014 To: phillydh <phillydigitalhumanities(a)googlegroups.com> GLAM Hack Philly is a free, weekend-long hackathon focused on building apps with open data from Galleries, Libraries, Archives, and Museums. It will take place the weekend of February 1-2, 2012 at the University of Pennsylvania’s Kislak Center for Special Collections. The event will bring together programmers, curators, librarians, designers, archivists, and anyone else with a passion for GLAM data, to build fun and interesting apps with the tremendous amount of GLAM data that is openly and freely available. On the morning of Saturday, February 1st, participants can pitch ideas for projects related to a specific data set or for broader GLAM-related applications. This could be anything from creating Omeka plug-ins to building a virtual city tour app using local digital collections. Small groups will form and participants will begin working on their projects through Sunday, with a goal to present a working prototype by Sunday afternoon. Challenges and Data We are seeking proposals of Data Challenges for teams to work on during the hackathon. Challenges can be as simple as a dataset and a vague idea of what could be done with that data, or could be an already identified problem with your data that you are seeking help to solve. The only requirements for proposing a challenge are: - Someone from your organization commits to participating in the event. They will help steward teams who take up that challenge by giving context to your data. - If you r challange includes a dataset, that data should be made available for use and reuse. Providing your data openly means that anyone can build applications with your data before, during, and after the hackathon. Submit a Challenge Now <http://bit.ly/1bp5xpV> If you’re not sure how your organization's data could be used or want some help brainstorming a challenge, just get in touch with glamhackphilly(a)gmail.com <javascript:_e({}, 'cvml', 'glamhackphilly(a)gmail.com');>, we're happy to help. You can also submit your dataset without proposing a challenge<http://bit.ly/1cg6bEr>. We'll highlight your dataset on our website for attendees consideration. But I'm not a programmer -- can I participate? The input of content specialists like museum curators, librarians, archivists, catalogers,GLA researchers and others who know the data produced by GLAM organizations, is crucial to creating successful projects. We don't just want your participation, we need it!

CeRch Seminar: They're reading our minds: humanities research and digital thinking with CENDARI
by kcl - cerch 21 Nov '13

21 Nov '13

Dear all, Apologies for cross-posting. Please find below the details of next week's CeRch seminar: They're reading our minds: humanities research and digital thinking with CENDARI Kate Macdonald (Ghent University) and Alessandro Salvador (University of Trento), Visiting Researchers at the Centre for e-Research, King's College London Date: Tuesday, 26th November, 2013 from 6:15 PM to 7:30 PM (GMT) Location: Anatomy Museum Space, 6th Floor, King's College London (Strand campus) http://www.kcl.ac.uk/campuslife/campuses/strand/Strand.aspx Attendance is free and open to all, but registration is requested: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/cerch-seminar-theyre-reading-our-minds-humanit… All the best, Valentina Asciutti Abstract: The Collaborative EuropeaN Digital Archive Infrastructure (CENDARI) provides and facilitates access to existing archives and resources in Europe for the study of medieval and modern European history (specifically the First World War period) through the development of an ‘enquiry environment’. As part of this project, the Centre for e-Research is currently hosting two visiting researchers: Kate Macdonald and Alessandro Salvador, who are investigating how CENDARI can assist their own research work. At tonight's seminar Kate Macdonald and Alessandro Salvador will discuss their ongoing research, within the context of CENDARI. Kate Macdonald’s presentation will outline a methodology and early findings from reading British popular fiction magazines published for the entirety of the First World War, looking for depictions of the war-wounded ex-soldier, and the civilian who had been impaired by disease, congenital causes, or industrial injury. This stream of cultural production at this time has never been investigated before, yet it presents important evidence for how the ordinary reader regarded, or was expected to regard, physical impairment at a time when the demographics of the physically impaired were changing dramatically, and new technologies were changing treatments, rehabilitation, and living with impairment. This is part of a wider project investigating such depictions during and after WW1 and up to 1939, exploring the hypothesis that some kinds of disability were more deserving than others. She will discuss her role in the CENDARI project as a case study and guinea-pig for exploring humanities research processes. Alessandro Salvador: My contribution will focus on the main topic of my research and the reasons and goals of my current work within the CENDARI project. I am currently in the final stage of a research about demobilization and reinstatement into civilian life of the Italian-speaking soldiers enlisted in the Austro-Hungarian army during World War I. In particular, I researched the activities of the Italian government in managing a group of Italian-nationals belonging to an enemy State within a complex series of events that started in 1915 and finished in 1921. This topic represented a challenge for archival research, as the sources are spread throughout archives in Italy, Russia, Austria and UK. This brought to the idea of creating an online research guide in which archival information can be gathered and made public for researchers needing to access sources on this topic. Thus, my current work mostly deals, as pilot project, with Italian sources. My contribution will give a brief introduction to the topic and the problematic issues in order to explain the kind of data I am collecting, the way of organizing them and what advantages I expect that this project will offer to researchers. Bios: Kate Macdonald teaches British literary history and poetry at Ghent University, and is the author of several books, chapters and articles on British publishing culture from 1880 to 1950. Alessandro Salvador studied contemporary history in Trieste and Trento, obtaining his Ph.D. in 2010. After a period as exchange scholar (DAAD Program) at the Freie Universitaet Berlin, he obtained a post-doc position at the University of Trento. Currently he is part of a research group on WWI involving the University and the Bruno Kessler Foundation in Trento.

18 Nov '13

**With apologies for cross-posting** 6th Annual Lawrence J. Schoenberg Symposium on Manuscript Studies in the Digital Age November 21-23, 2013 Thinking Outside the Codex In partnership with the Rare Book Department of the Free Library of Philadelphia, the Schoenberg Institute of Manuscript Studies at the University of Pennsylvania is pleased to announce the 6th Annual Lawrence J. Schoenberg Symposium on Manuscript Studies in the Digital Age. This year's symposium will encourage participants to "think outside the codex" and turn the tables on traditional approaches to manuscript study. We will explore such topics as how format shapes and limits interpretation, use, and production of manuscripts and how technologies have changed and challenged traditional methods of scholarship. We are especially considering instances of and responses to failure in the history of manuscript production and scholarship. In doing so, we hope to provoke new questions and forge new approaches to the study of the pre-modern book. To kick off the event, a reception and the keynote address will be held Thursday evening, November 21, at the Free Library of Philadelphia. This year's keynote speaker will be Peter Stallybrass, Walter H. and Leonore C. Annenberg Professor in the Humanities, Professor of English and of Comparative Literature and Literary Theory, and Director of the History of the Material Text Seminar at the University of Pennsylvania. The symposium begins Friday morning at the newly renovated Special Collections Center of the University Pennsylvania Libraries. Speakers include: * Benjamin Albritton, Stanford University * Benjamin Fleming, University of Pennsylvania * Martin Foys, King's College, London * Evyn Kropf, University of Michigan * David McKnight, University of Pennsylvania * Kathryn Rudy, University of St. Andrews * Robert Sanderson, Los Alamos National Laboratory * Timothy Stinson, North Carolina State University * Marie Turner, University of Pennsylvania * Elaine Treharne, Stanford University In addition, four workshops will be held throughout the symposium to offer hands-on exploration of problems and issues related to the study of manuscripts in the digital age. The Handwritten and the Printed: The limits of format and medium in Japanese premodern books Leaders: Julie Davis and Linda Chance, University of Pennsylvania Demo Workshop for T-Pen: Transcription for paleographical and editorial notation Leader: James Ginther, Saint Louis University Scholarship Outside the Codex: Citation-based digital workflows for integrating objects, images and text without making a mess Leader: Christopher Blackwell, Furman University Of Apples and Apple Pie: Exploring the relationship between raw data and digital scholarship Leaders: Dot Porter and Doug Emery, University of Pennsylvania For more information and to register go to: http://www.library.upenn.edu/exhibits/lectures/ljs_symposium6.html ****************** Lynn Ransom, Ph.D. Project Manager, Lawrence J.
