This Thurs, Ed Miller and I will discuss our pre-circulated paper about the @ddhitweets and applying digital tools to oral history with @JannekenSmucker and the audience @MHS1791 Shapiro Seminar. Register now to access the paper and join our discussion! masshist.org/events/dartmout…
Ed Miller and Bryan Winston (@bwins35) of the DDHI will be virtually discussing a pre-circulated paper @MHS1791 Shapiro DH Seminar on Thursday, April 28, 5:15-6:30pm ET. Its free to attend, you just need to register to receive the link and the paper! masshist.org/events/dartmout…
The DDHI is excited to begin collaborating with @vietnamTTU this winter and apply our tools and methods to a new project!
ddhi.dartmouth.edu/articles/…
The DDHI has produced its first visualizations of encoded oral history data. These initial visualizations of places mentioned in interviews has been very helpful for the intellectual and technical development of the project.
Now we are working through methods that will transform XML into JSON and will be user friendly. We want to enable numerous visualizations that can be manipulated future users of DDHI tools.
By 2021, we expect to have a data visualization toolkit thanks to development work by @AgileHumanities. The toolkit will allows users to analyze and explore oral histories as well as represent and communicate the results of their own research. ddhi.dartmouth.edu/wp/data-v…
As promised, we have a lot of updates about the DDHI. Today we'll let you know a little more about our TEI encoding methods and the development of partially-automated encoding with natural language processing
We are continuing to test and improve the OH Encoder as we prepare oral history interviews for data visualization

We've made a lot of progress over the past year and are currently updating our website so you can learn more about the DDHI. Check back here as we'll be highlighting our developments with TEI, named-entity recognition, and visualizing oral history data throughout the week!
Our research assistants have been working remotely and using TEI to encode oral history transcripts. They are now beginning to prepare our data for visualizations using JavaScript libraries. #dayofDH2020
At the same time we are working with @AgileHumanities who have created infrastructure that partially automates our encoding methods and are now developing a project site and data visualization toolkit that will allow others to explore rich oral histories #dayofDH2020
We are also thinking about future users like archivists, oral historians, community organizers, and students. Today, we held the first meeting of our external advisory board to advance our goal of building a community of practice #dayofDH2020
Check out a write up on our recent talk and progress. Thanks @DartmouthDhse
One week ago, kicking off our first #DHSpeakerSeries, @Dartmouth Professor Ed Miller from the history department and @bwins35 presented on the @ddhitweets. If you weren't able to make the lecture, learn more about his innovative project on the DHSE blog dhse.dartmouth.edu/news/2020…
