Projects

Research and pedagogy projects.

Four working projects that lived on archiva.net long enough to acquire their own audiences — covering digital research practice, web typography for academic citation, visual-evidence pedagogy, and Butte mining history.

  • The Electronic Researcher→

    A working guide to digital tools for academic research — document capture, OCR, citation management, and the practical question of how to keep a working archive without losing the source.

  • Scholarship on the Web→

    A working series on the practical problem of citation in web typography — how to format footnotes, sidenotes, endnotes, and reference apparatus in HTML and CSS in a way that preserves academic readability.

  • Picture This!→

    Companion polling site for the Organization of American Historians session on visual evidence in U.S. history teaching.

  • Richest Hills DE→

    Digital edition material on Butte, Montana's industrial landscape — Western mining-history teaching resources drawn from research on the Anaconda Company's reach and the working-class neighbourhoods of the Mining City.
