Bamboo DiRT (Digital Research Tools) - 1 views
-
"Bamboo DiRT is a registry of digital research tools for scholarly use. Developed by Project Bamboo, Bamboo DiRT makes it easy for digital humanists and others conducting digital research to find and compare resources ranging from content management systems to music OCR, statistical analysis packages to mindmapping software." Highly recommended. In many ways, this site does much of the work we were planning to shoulder last spring.

Hypercities - 0 views

Built on the idea that every past is a place, HyperCities is a digital research and educational platform for exploring, learning about, and interacting with the layered histories of city and global spaces. Developed though collaboration between UCLA and USC, the fundamental idea behind HyperCities is that all stories take place somewhere and sometime; they become meaningful when they interact and intersect with other stories. Using Google Maps and Google Earth, HyperCities essentially allows users to go back in time to create and explore the historical layers of city spaces in an interactive, hypermedia environment.

"The goal of Women's Worlds in Qajar Iran is to address a gap in scholarship and understanding of the lives of women during the Qajar era (1786 - 1925) in Iran by developing a comprehensive digital resource that preserves, links, and renders accessible primary-source materials related to the social and cultural history of women's worlds in Qajar Iran. Through the use of technology it brings together little known archives scattered across the world."
Global Perspectives on Digital History - 1 views
-
"Global Perspectives on Digital History aggregates and selects material from our Compendium of the Global Perspectives, drawing from hundreds of venues where high-quality scholarship is likely to appear, including the personal websites of scholars, institutional sites, blogs, and other feeds. It also seeks to discover new material by monitoring Twitter and other social media for stories discussed by the community, and by continuously scanning the broader web through generalized and specialized search engines. Scholarship-in whatever form-that drives the field forward is highlighted in the Editors' Choice column. Global Perspectives also offers Short Takes, items from the venues we monitor that are brief, but which offer important insights into or news on digital history around the world. The current languages of Global Perspectives are English, German, and French. In the months to come we will expand our purview to other world languages. If you are interested in becoming an editor of content in a new language for us, please contact one of the editors in chief."

Russia | Dissertation Reviews - 1 views
-
[Note: Philippa Hetherington (one of our own grad students) serves as review editor for the Russian Studies category.] Founded in 2010, Dissertation Reviews is a new site that features overviews of recently defended, unpublished doctoral dissertations in a wide variety of disciplines across the Humanities and Social Sciences. Our goal is to offer readers a glimpse of each discipline's immediate present by focusing on the window of time between dissertation defense and first book publication. Each review provides a summary of the author's main arguments, the historiographic genealogy in which the author operates, and the main source bases for his or her research. The reviews are also anticipatory, making educated assessments of how the research will advance or challenge our understanding of major issues in the field when it is revised and published in the future.
