Topic: Harvesting History: Documenting and Digitizing in Academia
Description
Join us for our second SourceLab Forum, “Harvesting History: Community Documentary Practice” in our spring 2022 SourceLab Forum series. In this open conversation, we will speak with Dr. Kathy Oberdeck, Associate Professor of History at UIUC and Dr. Rebecca Wingo, Assistant Professor of History and Director of Public History at the University of Cincinnati.
During this one hour discussion, Dr. Wingo and Dr. Oberdeck will share their experiences organizing and executing History Harvests. Focusing on their West End Archive, Remembering Rondo, and Sewn in Memory projects, this forum will explore best practices for public facing scholarship and pedagogy while considering the political and technological concerns of community digitization. Anyone interested in public outreach, digital historical scholarship, or activism in the classroom is welcome to join us for this exciting conversation!
