I'm Just Saying: Sarah Waugh's Public History Blog: January 2008
http://sarahcrwaugh.blogspot.com/2008_01_01_archive.html
I'm Just Saying: Sarah Waugh's Public History Blog. Friday, January 4, 2008. Out of Body Experience. As anyone who lives with me for any length of time quickly finds out, I will never get tired of listening to Counting Crows. I have found that same sense of captivation these past few weeks in the city of Seattle. The 1962 Seattle World's Fair has the regrettable legacy of being known as one of the least impressive and profitable of the world's fairs held in the 1950's and 1960's. While parts of the s...

History Bytes: April 2008
http://samanthadiamond.blogspot.com/2008_04_01_archive.html
Monday, April 21, 2008. Written in the Stars: Digital History Project. Unlike other Public History programs in the province, the program at the University of Western Ontario includes a mandatory Digital History course. This course is designed to familiarize students with different ways of integrating history and technology. From learning how to blog, to practicing code, this course has introduced many of us, including myself, to new technology that improves exhibit success. Both the SMART Board presentat...

History Bytes: October 2007
http://samanthadiamond.blogspot.com/2007_10_01_archive.html
Thursday, October 4, 2007. Weltner’s ‘Scholarly’ Site. A little voice inside of me cries ranking order, TEI, xml vs. html vs. xhtml? Although ignorance is bliss, I am happy that this course has forced me to realize (although I'm still stuck in a fuzzy stage) how everything works. One of my best friends sent me this email today and I thought it was a great example of everything we have been discussing in class. The email describes the racist web-site www.Jewwatch.com. Http:/ www.jewwatch.com/. Is the whol...

Nana Robinette - Public History 2007/2008: March 2008
http://nanarobinette.blogspot.com/2008_03_01_archive.html
Nana Robinette - Public History 2007/2008. Monday, March 24, 2008. Interactive Elements at the DIA. Recently, I travelled to Detroit, Michigan to go to the Detroit Institute of Arts (DIA). There were specific parts of the gallery I was extremely excited to see, such as Julie Mehretu’s exhibit City Sitings. And Whistler’s Nocturne in Black and Gold, the Falling Rocket. One specific interactive element took 18. Century European porcelain and dinnerware (a boring subject for many school a. Throughout the ga...

Nana Robinette - Public History 2007/2008: P.S. - I love cardigan sweaters!
http://nanarobinette.blogspot.com/2008/01/ps-i-love-cardigan-sweaters.html
Nana Robinette - Public History 2007/2008. Friday, January 4, 2008. PS - I love cardigan sweaters! Over the holiday break, I had access to my family car, which resulted in numerous long trips to. And unnecessary shopping. Fortunately, it also allowed me more time to listen to CBC radio. Although I often listen to CBC radio at home, it is never for a substantial length of time. This break, I was pleased to notice that the CBC was making great use of its archival hol. Ent, rare moments in time. My sister a...

Don't know much about history: September 2007
http://rebeccagiesbrecht.blogspot.com/2007_09_01_archive.html
Don't know much about history. Tuesday, September 25, 2007. In defence of progress. I know technology can be scary (as some have expressed in our digital history class . . .). I too have been a bit wary of embracing new technology. In fact, I was one of the last people I knew to cave in and buy a cell phone and then an ipod. But here’s the thing: now that I have them, I can’t imagine living without them. Sunday, September 23, 2007. Historical song and dance? And if you are a tourist breezing through a mu...

Don't know much about history: November 2007
http://rebeccagiesbrecht.blogspot.com/2007_11_01_archive.html
Don't know much about history. Monday, November 12, 2007. To Keep or Not to Keep: Spam and the Culture of "Found". We recently read Paul Graham’s 2002 article “A Plan for Spam”. For our Digital History class and as a group, we came to the surprising realisation that we do not, in fact, get much spam anymore. So this got me thinking: What would an archive of spam look like? Would it tell us anything? Sunday, November 4, 2007. England, England: a study in re-presentation. Maybe But maybe not. 2 Barnes, 55.

Don't know much about history: Blogging from the Trenches
http://rebeccagiesbrecht.blogspot.com/2008/03/blogging-from-trenches.html
Don't know much about history. Sunday, March 23, 2008. Blogging from the Trenches. Few would dispute that the internet has changed the way we learn. In the early days, websites were fairly static and unchanging, and so all the internet really did was increase the ease with which we could access information. Websites were, in effect, little more than the equivalent of books or articles available on a computer screen. But we are now in the age of web 2.0. March 25, 2008 at 2:46 PM. Bill AKA Harry Lamin.
