MMILL team processing

For the Maine MILL project my team is working on the virtual tour aspect. We started off by just learning how to use thing link and processing the materials. Once we got accustomed with our project, we were able to divide each section up. While each of us are focusing on our own individual section we are always helping each other when we can. I focused on the shoe industry portion. I set up my section so that the information flow together through each segment. The work that was involved in the making of the virtual tour was going through all the photos and textual information and organizing the materials. The project appears to be in its final stages at the moment. I expected the project to contain a lot more material than we were given. We are planning to have a workshop where we check each other's before we submit the project. There are many digital humanities concepts in this project. A couple of them are data collection, virtual spaces, and accessibility online. Our work on this project will contribute to the Museums goal of allowing this information to reach more people. If I were to carry my work forward, I would continue to add information to the virtual tour and make it more interactive.

    I'm glad you were able to create a good virtual tour when given not a lot of materials/information to work with. Online accessibility is very important and with your 360 tour you guys are really helping with the visualization aspect of the website. I am excited to see your groups final results!

    I think the addition of your group's virtual tour will be a great asset to the site. Not many people have easy access to the Lewiston-Auburn area, so having a way to visit online should prove to be a really cool and useful feature. Can't wait to see it all finished!

Maps & Virtual Spaces

  I thought it was interesting to learn about the range of complexity that is mapping and GIS, just like digital humanities. It seems that the more qualities of the digital humanities that we learn, the more it helps to break down what the digital humanities are. That being said it is odd that adding complex features of the subject would make it easier to understand. For mapping, it seems to be complex in the way that there are so many ways to layer the information that is to be given. I like that the chapter on the subject in our textbook broke down the different purposes of using maps to relay information.  The text also discusses a virtual exhibit created to recreate Pompeii. This reminded me of when I visited Pompeii, I got to see some of the 3D models that were created to represent its appearance, and I even remember there being a virtual exhibit that broke down the volcano erupting and the pattern (most likely based on evidence gathered) in which it buried the city.  On the googl

What is digital humanities?

  Kaitlin Carroll     When I think of the d igital humanities the first thing that pops into my head is a computer. Whether thats accurate or not it's what pops into my brain. Digital obviously makes me think about electronics, and then following it with humanities make me think of how people interact/express themselves within those electronics. After playing around with the blog and reading some of the Digital Humanities course book, the definition of digital humanities can be interpreted to be combining humanities properties with computational methods. (Drucker, pg 1). The components that Johnna Drucker discussed in her book of digital humanities were most helpful at breaking that subject down for me. In the manifesto, it is explained that it is hard to limit what can be classified as digital humanities because the subject is wide with various allowances of what counts as the category. I like this because then digital humanities is a perfect way to be expressive in a persons own

Blog post 2: Data & Digitilzation

  The section on data helps and relates to my project for analysis because now that I have a better understanding of what is is I can find more things to analyse from my site. Data (like digital humanities) is a lot broader of a subject than I initial thought it was. It's not all about the obvious numbers like you'd automatically assume, it can include things like "text, beats in a measure, pixels on a screen, and distances on a map can all be turned into quantitative data," (Drucker, 19). This very helpful as a guide for what to focus on/analyse on my website.  The checklist for creating a data model was very helpful, I like that it breaks down with instructions. Data and digitalisation play a key role in digital humanities by being the large part of what makes it up. They apply to the website I'm analysing especially the digitalisation because my site is composed of a bunch of imported files to journals and projects. These chapters gave a dive into these compone
