Out of the Archives: Digital Projects as Early Modern Research Objects

Organized for the Folger Institute Seminar by Paul Broyles, Margaret Simon, and Christopher Crosbie, this exhibit showcases local and regional Digital Humanities projects. The projects examine the role of digital projects on archival objects. How do the digital humanities reconfigure our sense of “the archive?” As instantiations of humanistic inquiry during a period of rapid technological change, digital artifacts become research objects in their own right. Digital projects continually reshape our modes of accessing traditional archival objects and the very questions we ask of them.

This exhibit features works by Helen J. Burgess, Margaret Simon, Kelsey Dufresne, Robert Whalen, Christopher Hodgkins, Julie Mell, Shaun Bennett, Timothy Stinson, Jim Knowles, Edward Triplett, NC State CHASS and Veterinary Medicine Faculty, Astrid Giugni, Jessica Hines, Paul Fyfe, Antony Harrison, David Hill, Christopher Isley, Sharon Joffe, Andrew McCall, Keon Pettiway, Sharon Setzer, Vamsi Vikash, Lauren Woodard, Markus Wust, John N. Wall, David Hill, and Yun Jing.
