Continue readingThere have been sessions at past THATCamps that have explored the use of 3D design to envision historical sites or perhaps to demonstrate relationships of words in a concordance or index. In those cases the examples in most cases were a transference of Atoms (papers, manuscripts, notes from conversations) to bits (program design, programming, data […]
Continue readingThis is a plea for a workshop on creating interfaces to digital collections using Viewshare and Omeka Exhibit.
