Exploring Big Historical Data: The Historian's Macroscope
The Power to Structure: Making Meaning from Metadata Through Ontologies
Information systems are developed by people with intent—they are designed to help creators and users tell specific stories with data. Within information systems, the often invisible structures of metadata profoundly impact the meaning that can be derived from that data. The Linked Infrastructure for Networked Cultural Scholarship project (LINCS) helps humanities researchers tell stories by using linked open data to convert humanities datasets int…
Clio, Rewired: Propositions for the Future of Digital History Pedagogy in Canada
Courses on digital history methods are being offered at more Canadian universities than ever before, with both techniques and tools being embedded in courses on oral history, environmental history, and public history, to name a few. What is being taught in these classrooms and who is teaching it? Despite a wealth of digital, historical scholarship being undertaken by women, this article shows that the majority of these classes are taught by men a…

Problematizing the Digital Literacy Paradox in the Context of Older Adults’ ICT Use: Aging, Media Discourse, and Self-Determination
Despite evidence of an upward trend in the adoption of information and communication technologies (ICTs), current media discourse suggests that older adults (those 60-plus) lag behind in terms of engagement with digital technology. Through a survey and interviews with older adults, we investigate how this population views its own digital skills, barriers to digital literacy, and the social and institutional support system it draws on for help wit…
Where do we go from here? Innovative technologies and heritage engagement with the MakerBus
Interviews with digital seniors: ICT use in the context of everyday life
The literature on the digital divide suggests that seniors continue to lag behind in access to the Internet, digital skills, and engagement in various online activities. Much of the research, however, gains insight from large-scale survey research and neglects to examine the challenges and opportunities that digital seniors, those who are connected, experience in their everyday use of information and communication technologies (ICTs). We employed…
Networks of digital humanities scholars: The informational and social uses and gratifications of Twitter
Big Data research is currently split on whether and to what extent Twitter can be characterized as an informational or social network. We contribute to this line of inquiry through an investigation of digital humanities (DH) scholars' uses and gratifications of Twitter. We conducted a thematic analysis of 25 semi-structured interview transcripts to learn about these scholars' professional use of Twitter. Our findings show that Twitter is consider…
Digital curation and the networked audience of urban events: Expanding La Fiesta de Santo Tomás from the physical to the virtual environment
The proliferation of portable, networked and location-aware devices has drastically changed how the city is represented and interpreted in general and during specific events in particular by enabling new practices of digital curation and networked audience activities. These extend the urban realm from the physical into the virtual, which provides a space for global and dispersed, often naive audience activities. This article uses the case study o…
