Keynote Presentation
Monday, July 13, 1:00-2:15 pm ET
Sarah Ketchley, University of Washington, will describe the evolution of the Emma B. Andrews Diary Project from its origins in 2011 as traditional disciplinary research carried out by a single scholar, into a collaborative and interdisciplinary digital humanities project involving multiple collections of primary source material, and a community of scholars and student interns. This transition did not always have a smooth trajectory, and ‘best practices’ were learned and refined by trial and error. The project PI, Sarah Ketchley, will describe the student internship program, its goals and outcomes along with various ways of documenting and sharing practical knowledge and theory. These working practices have since been applied and refined for other DH projects at the University of Washington. The talk will conclude by taking a look at a couple of these projects, along with ongoing student DH development work.
