Important project to watch and learn from. A model collaboration between digital archives and research data management to prioritize and commit institutional resources of the library to center Black history. #digitalhumanities #collectionsasdata

A key text to use when teaching the history of racism in the US and the role of redlining maps. Discusses their visual and explanatory power but also the limitations of depending on them as the only force contributing to existing inequalities.

Luddites were not simply motivated by a general fear of technology, they were confronting what technology did to others and who was benefitting from the changes. This thread is an important reframe and reminder

6 months ago today I wore this blue suit as I cleaned the Capitol after the insurrection, now I just donated it to the Smithsonian. Jan6 must never be forgotten. While some try to erase history, I will fight to tell the story so it never happens again. Here is one story…(THREAD)
