The DSL is hiring a new associate director, someone to help lead the lab and coordinate all the GIS work for projects like American Panorama and Mapping Inequality. If you're interested, info's at richmond.csod.com/ux/ats/careers… . And pass along to anyone you think might be interested.

The Massachusetts Historical Society issued a call for proposals for scholars in the digital humanities to workshop work-in-progress as part of their Shapiro Digital History Seminar series. These seminars are really productive. masshist.org/seminars/l-den…

Which is one reason we (with @BrentCebul) created dsl.richmond.edu/panorama/renew… so we could help complicate this history with another DH project and dataset on a federal program that was rife with racism too and more materially impactful than HOLC's maps. 11/11

So, while I think @robgioielli's piece might not give enough credit to the nuances and qualifications of some of this literature, couldn't agree more that we need more work, and I'd say datasets, on real estate, urban and housing policy, and race in 20th century. 10/11

Working on Mapping Inequality V3 with new maps for smaller towns. Map of Bristol VA makes me want to laugh & cry about links between past & present-today's MLK Blvd jumps out on a narrow area surgically redlined when he was ~10 years old.

@PaulRobbins15 The redlining data are getting A LOT of use thanks to Mapping Inequality Project for digitizing, georectifying, and making them publicly available. Very valuable resource. Anyone want to do the same for urban renewal in a standardized and accessible way?

I so admire the YIMBY movement. This fundraising effort is trying to get the full HOLC archive at the National Archives digitized, in part to grow and expand Mapping Inequality donorbox.org/mapping-inequa…
