Our @peripheralmss.bsky.social site visit to Loras College is off to an incredible start!!! (feat. @sarahloleet.bsky.social and her incredible student David!) #medievalsky #manuscripts #midwestmss #medievalmss #adventuresinspecialcollections

We'd love ❤️ your feedback. If you have 5 mins or 15 mins, the open review process ranges from lightweight to a fuller review. Any and all feedback will help us! Thank you.

Help us make the @acls1919.bsky.social funded @digitalarc.bsky.social a great resource for community-led archiving by providing your feedback. Open peer review through May 29, 2026: docs.google.com/document/d/1... #CommunityArchive #publichistory

The @peripheralmss.bsky.social project had its first delivery of mss from Saint Meinrad Archabbey as part of our @nehgov.bsky.social HCRR grant. I'll leave it to @lizhebbard.bsky.social & @sarahloleet.bsky.social to provide a more substantive assessment, but ahhhhhh look at some of these beauties.

Part 2 is out! Big hugs to my friends & coauthors, @kalanicraig.bsky.social & Sean Purcell. We grow so much from @libraryleadpipe.bsky.social 's open peer review process. Big thanks to @quinnanya.me @plach.bsky.social & @schomj.bsky.social for being awesome reviewers & editors.

Good times! We come together again for another virtual workshop in a couple of weeks!

Midwest community leaders worked toward their digital archiving goals at the DigitalArc In-Person Workshop from May 31-June 1, 2025, in Bloomington, Indiana. The focus on this workshop was community and collections. See event highlights here: digitalarcplatform.github.io/highlights/

Partners opened GitHub accounts and practiced making their website look like it belonged to their community during the first of our three-part virtual workshop series. We choose to teach GitHub due to its stability, financial accessibility, and ease of use (after training, of course).

Metadata is hard especially for Medieval Manuscripts ... check out our latest blog post about the @peripheralmss.bsky.social project: peripheralmss.org/metadata-for.... #midwestmss #medievalmss

Took us a minute but we are trying the socials (well, just bluesky) for this special project! Check it out: digitalarcplatform.github.io

Hi, Bluesky, we are DigitalArc! 👋 Funded by @acls1919, we advance community-led archiving projects in the Midwest, offering communities options for exhibiting & managing their own stories. We believe communities, not just institutions, should decide how things appear in the historical record.

Thanks @plach.bsky.social ! The open peer review process w/ @libraryleadpipe.bsky.social was constructive & generative-the best peer review experience. Writing w/Sean Purcell was an inspiration & of course, @kalanicraig.bsky.social, forever my work spouse. Looking forward to part 2 of the article.

Proud to serve as the publishing editor for this fantastic piece. The authors position refusal as an ethical/methodological stance for working with "materials that depend on the objectification of, and through that objectification the commodification of, human subjects." It's a must read!

It’s our first #ManuscriptMonday. Follow along to learn about some items in the Peripheral Manuscripts Project’s digital repository! #medievalsky

Thanks to a Digital Justice grant from American Council of Learned Societies, the Digital Archiving & Storytelling for Historically Excluded Communities (DigitalArc) project is gearing up. Learn more about the project: digitalarcplatform.github.io.
