Nice #NEASA2012 RT @retius: @ryancordell Some stand on the shoulders of giants. Others stand on the shoulders of catalogers.

- So many DH projects are not radical breaks in scholarship-but instead make good on the promise of venerable scholarly practices #NEASA2012

I’m struck by how the Photogrammar project builds on the intricate & unheralded work of librarians & cataloguers past + #NEASA2012

Working to answer common critiques of #DH, Taylor Arnold notes “quantitative methods do not require quantitative analyses” #NEASA2012

NEH Award Search

Lauren Tilton shows how Photogrammar reconstructs negative rolls from FSA photographers-restoring context securegrants.neh.gov/publicquery/main.aspx #NEASA2012

Brian Murphy considers 2 senses of “digital artifact”-the digitized archival item & distortions/errors introduced by digitization #NEASA2012

How about “all y’all” to encompass them & you? RT @KathrynTomasek: @footnotesrising suggests that "us/them/you" goes digital well #NEASA2012

#NEASA2012 a DH-focused conference that includes mostly scholars from outside the DH tent (&/or newcomers to it)-we need more such events

.@samplereality quoted as exemplar of that core / RT @KathrynTomasek: @lubar #DH is already public and open; has "utopian core" #NEASA2012

.@lubar notes that digital tools/platforms require a rigor (w/data standards, etc) not always found in public humanities projects #NEASA2012

.@lubar getting wary of teaching a “curation” segment in his public humanities course-“I was a curator before curating was cool” #NEASA2012

.@lubar jokes that every digital humanities presentation must include a Venn diagram #NEASA2012

.@KathrynTomasek now talking about using *granular* geospatial data to understand the cotton trade in #c19 US #NEASA2012

Spatial Humanities

.@joguldi evangelizing http://spatial.scholarslab.org (among myriad other matters spatial & historical) at #NEASA2012 #geoinst

@wraabe it is not the number, but the quality, of the presenters that make it epic! #NEASA2012

Tomorrow’s epic #NEASA2012 Pecha Kucha panel will include me, @joguldi, @KathrynTomasek, @footnotesrising, @abschreiber, & @emdillon

.@kateasinger: Large gap b/w those nominally interested in DH & those who actively incorporate into teaching & collaborative work #NEASA2012

.@kateasinger says we’re still in conversational mode about the digital humanities-“what is DH” questions dominate the discussion #NEASA2012

Today @KathrynTomasek coined the name “Crowdsourcing the Founders” for a hypothetical DH project-think she should make it so #NEASA2012

.@MatthewBattles on adapting “citizen science” modalities to humanities projects that rely on distributed authority for accuracy #NEASA2012

Now @MatthewBattles charts distinctions between curators, scholars, and hackers re:knowledge - want to share this slide #NEASA2012

From @MatthewBattles: there is the prospect now of “distributed authority” in the telling of narratives & sharing of culture #NEASA2012

.@MatthewBattles discussing the “shared authority” of public history-b/w historians, documentary makers, museum curators &c. #neasa2012
