I also think Omeka can be a great space for advance literature students to do similar kinds of projects, Anne, but on a smaller scale. This is something Michael has discussed with Peter but it has never taken off b/c, well, …. Perhaps we need to be the emissaries once we feel comfortable with the program.

I’m also interested in using the web to create scholarly communities around under-studied research topics. In addition to the conversation about strategies for online archiving, I’d also be interested in discussing how you and I also both use “scholarly blogs” to get conversations going (in your case, conversations about an under-canonized author, and in my case, conversations about New Orleans theatre and performance). How can we collaborate to create exciting and dynamic spaces that connect online archives to real-time scholarly or public or hybrid scholar-blog conversations about a specific research topic?

I would also love to hear from others with experience creating archival sites. I imagine there is a fair amount of overlap between literature and history archives. So we lit and history folks can learn a lot from each other (or I could learn a lot from you).

I am very interested in finding more models to emulate for my own project, which I envision as sort of an organic, student generated/curated exhibit about the visual culture of the Civil War in the South. While I have a basic Omeka platform now (I don’t even know the right lingo!) I don’t know how to make it look more appealing or easier to navigate. Nor how to plan for future expansions of it, which I really hope to do each time I teach the course.

Molly
