   Great presentations yesterday! It was wonderful to see a packed audience — and esp. to see the finished sites in action and to hear the lessons of experience each group shared re: their projects.

   The concluding commentary was insightful and raised v. interesting issues relevant to future projects in digital history. My short list that I noted while listening included:

   – archival logistics (issues of copyright, technical logistics re: format transfer to digital, and editorial choices re: sources as they shape the finished produce…)

   – cooperative dynamics (how is a group project best managed re: divisions of labor, coordination of data, design, and tech?)

   – models of innovation (these four websites offer a great start! It was also interesting to hear that the Veterans History Project of the LOC was a model for the Alumni Project. Nice work… What are the other innovative models out there?)

   – methodological implications (yesterday’s presentations and the project sites raise intriguing Q’s re: digital avenues providing new ways not only to share history, but also to offer unique insight upon it…)

   Congratulations to all on a great job!

   I was very impressed with the work you all did in this class. You all ran with the ball very well.

   Here are some pictures I took at the event, so you will fondly remember it, always. 🙂
