forgot hashtag #sharp19 : Karina Lukin turns our attention to one of those regions w/o a sharp organization -- and demonstrates how soviet indigenous writing are erased

Oh no -- ISECS and @SHARP19 are at the same time. ARRRRRRG.

damn, just want to copy this story from @hralperta because its really important: #histbook #archives @SHARP_2019/#sharp19

" this is not a process of repatriation .. but it is a process of digital return" @SHARP_2019/#sharp19

however, cautions @hralperta, digital surrogates get old quicky

i am LOVING the effort that younger scholars are making towards accessibility: the digital version of @hralperta's talk is here: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1iZSyRCAzA4AwqYNlHry3xG9l9bKPnsz4zJV6-dZ5Uck/edit @SHARP_2019/#sharp19

😍😍😍😍 #sharp19 @SHARP_2019

(and, I might note, PAY the digitizers and teach them what is important and how to do it well!)

@Bibli_be_Us demos the National Diet Library Collection @NDLJP_en which is one of the best platforms I've seen! check it out <a href="http://dl.ndl.go.jp/info:ndljp/pid/8929985" class="hover:underline text-blue-600 dark:text-sky-400 no-card-link" target="_blank" rel="noopener" data-link="bsky">http://dl.ndl.go.jp/info:ndljp/pid/8929985 @SHARP_2019/#sharp19

It perhaps worth thinking of our digitization processes with an ethics of care and craft -- don't just "scoop up all your books and send them to google" as @wynkenhimself said -- think of it as the same sort of work @SHARP_2019/#sharp19

@Bibli_be_Us points out that "in choosing the digital, it really depends on WHAT the question you are asking and I absolutely agree! @SHARP_2019/#sharp19

this panel is really beautifully put together

BUCKLE UP FOLKS, #HISTPORN @SHARPorg #SHARP19 IS HAPPENING 📚🔥

so thrilled and hashtag blessed to be on a panel with my former advisor and an academic I truly respect 😁

this presentation is a powerful constrast (not counterpoint/not argument) to @wynkenhimself's -- a discussion of a surrogate as a solution #dh #digitalarchives #digiarch @SHARP_2019/#sharp19

PALIMPSEST AS HELL #sharp19 @SHARP_2019

yaaaaas #sharp19 @SHARP_2019

the channeling of @mkirschenbaum here is @SHARP_2019/#sharp19

Digital workflows force users to put something into a category and the categories often do not make sense or properly align with the item —this is colonial erasure all over #critcat #sharp19 @SHARP_2019

loved the use of animation in a powerpoint (for once) -- the fading of the photograph of the author(?) faded to handwriting, an image of the original manuscript -- this is very palimpsestitic @SHARP_2019/#sharp19

Bruchac makes a PHENOMENAL point about #digitization and digital workflows. Museums are going about making digital databases and typing up old records--but the paper records often contain more information that are not recorded in the catalog. Furthermore, #sharp19 @SHARP_2019

"how to analyze the meaning of bibliographic data?" // "empirical search for the bibliographic truth" with a call out of/to gaskell if I heard right?

@Bibli_be_Us' point about the elitism implied in the "physical touching" of a book is a very good one @SHARP_2019/#sharp19

"the text on the page is a mediation -- a mediation between words and pages and meaning -- a mediation, etc" SO GOOD "a function of the ethereal and material" // "paradox of ??"

HOLD ON I'M IN LOVE @SHARP_2019/#sharp19

recommends Joy Lisi A People's History Of Computing in the United States. also a call out to a 1967(!!) article from computers and the humanities #dh @SHARP_2019/#sharp19 https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007%2FBF00119894

what an amazing photograph to end on : the restoration of wampum to it's home #sharp19 @SHARP_2019

aka @Bibli_be_Us -- i love this introduction // asking about how a a copy becomes a reality // invokes deja vu // does a book exist if it is not digital ?

the rhythm and presentation here is gorgeous & poetic @SHARP_2019/#sharp19

I knew that the project was old, but I didn't think that it would have been so tied up with the very birth of the internet. -- @sprowberry moves on to other early texts e.g. PLATO as the first ebook @SHARP_2019/#sharp19

this promises to be an interesting speech as it will be examining publishers series in contrast to the triple decker novel, which was one of the most important formats of the #19thC #histbook @SHARP_2019/#sharp19

OH YES, ARE WE GETTING INTO #CRITCAT NOW Y'ALL #sharp19 @SHARP_2019
