I'm extremely proud of my end products: the physical and digital forms of the Bates College Clothing Archive, accompanied by a written portion explaining the reasoning behind the choices I made in the process of developing this archive. I'm also immensely grateful to all of the people who supported me during this year -- thank you! https://dressing-up-data.netlify.app/post/bates-donations/ Fri, 05 May 2023 00:00:00 +0000 https://dressing-up-data.netlify.app/post/bates-donations/ This is a project I worked on in a course I just finished, called Archives, Data, and Analysis.

On Friday, I had the privilege of presenting my ongoing work with the Bates Museum of Art at our annual student research conference, the Mount David Summit. I was placed in the Research in STEM presentation session, which I found a bit funny. The two presentations before me were on biology and neuroscience thesis research, so my talk was certainly something different! To refresh your memory: I'm currently working with the Bates Museum of Art to develop a digital crowdsourcing platform to collect keyword tags for the almost 10,000 works in the Museum collection. https://dressing-up-data.netlify.app/post/new-project/ Thu, 05 Jan 2023 00:00:00 +0000 https://dressing-up-data.netlify.app/post/new-project/ Long time no see! Friends, it’s been a very busy semester and holiday season. But, I want to share some updates before the winter semester starts next week! New Digital Exhibit I took two wonderful history classes this semester. Taking Technology in US History was an absolute highlight for me; the course started out solidly in my 18th and 19th century comfort zone, covering railroads, mills, and agriculture, but by the second half we were talking about modern technology that I regularly use but hadn’t thought about critically.
