Had an absolutely glorious time today looking at medieval books of hours and breviaries at Albert and Shirley Small special collections! @rareuva.bsky.social
I always am fascinated by looking at signs of use - seeing how worn some pages were and where other codices fell open to was amazing!

The 60th ICMS this Spring had just over 1500 people listed in the registrants index - that may not reflect actual attendance though. I'm sure some of those people were virtual, and perhaps there were some attendees not in the book.

What platforms are folks using for DH projects which are object-focused? I'm familiar with StoryMaps, what else is out there for online presentations of objects along with descriptive and brief analysis?
Thanks in advance!

The twirling, contagiously joyful, always-almost-out-of-control moments of a contra (or other social) dance.

The joy and unconditional love of small children.

The moment in reading (or listening to a podcast, or to a lecture) when a new idea changes one's view of the world.

Do you think the ban of Tik Tok will make a difference in the experience in schools now that other apps (Insta, TouTube, etc) have added short video content features as well? (Not critical of your take, curious for a teacher's opinion)

Dr. Whittle also mapped the concerns of the audience about generative AI and it was fascinating to see - highly rated were student plagiarism and intellectual property issues.

I attended a lovely talk by @sophiewhittle.bsky.social on the role of LLMs and generative AI in Digital Scholarly Editing! I'm excited to see discussions about how AI comes to bear on early period work. I'm left reflecting on the utility of AI and the (modern) biases that it may introduce to texts.
