Description
An account of the resource
This journal article describes a two-year digitization endeavor implemented to digitally publicize and preserve limited amounts of endangered Mongolian newspapers and periodicals into a collection by the Press Institute of Mongolia, expanding its accessibility through the Internet. These scarce samples of newspapers document all manner of records ranging from economic to political alterations within Mongolian society after the fall of communism in the 1990s. The digitization process for newspaper items poses a great number of challenges primary because of the complexity of page layout, a print of poor quality, and a sizeable format. The archive utilized Greenstone for its creation, an open-source digital library software program set, which offers multilingual support in the development and preservation of such rare Mongolian publications. Supported by a grant from the Endangered Archives Programme at the British Library, the project focused on overcoming the challenge of properly preserving these records, while at the same time trying to build an effective search function that would work in the Mongolian language and display characters in the Cyrillic alphabet. This article explains the background of the project, its goals of providing access for the public and preservation to these long-lost materials, its decision process in digital imaging and the assemblage of the collection itself.

Acts of Translation: Digital Humanities and the Archive Interface
Subject

Web archiving
Description
An account of the resource
Elish and Trettien argue the interface of digital collections transfers meaning through its design and acts as a metonym for the sponsoring web site. They scrutinize the visual interface and usability of three web sites housing large digitized collections and focus on the ideologies associated with the representation and mission of each site. By applying what they refer to as “visual epistemology,” Elish and Trettien identify the tools and visual markers that facilitate access to and navigation through three digital archives: NINES (Networked Infrastructure for Nineteenth-century Electronic Scholarship), “Objects of History” (George Mason University), and SFMOMA Art Scope (San Francisco Museum of Modern Art). Both presentation of the items and navigation through the site work in tandem to produce meaning, with the preferred result being a minimizing of the interface and a maximizing of the content. In this article, the authors underscore the “expressive potential of digital form” and offer a method for designing and critiquing digital archives.
Abstract
A summary of the resource.
At this formative moment in the field of Digital Humanities, this paper seeks to intervene with the question: how does visual epistemology inform and influence the ways of accessing artifacts (broadly construed) in a digital space? As Research Assistants for MIT’s Hyperstudio, we have helped to design, plan and implement Digital Humanities projects; as scholars and students of art, literature and media, we have used digitalarchives in our own research. Drawing on these experiences, we explore the ways in which three recent web-based Digital Humanities projects draw on visual conventions and interface design to translate user interactions into archival access.

Description
An account of the resource
This article focuses on the application of archival theory to create digital representations of history, and how this has created a new theory within digital humanities scholarship termed digital historiography—a theory which focuses on analyzing and studying how digital technologies and historical practice interact. The sudden, rapid development of digital humanities scholarship and its increasing emphasis on interdisciplinarity has left scholars without a criteria to properly assess the validity and importance of digital representations, leaving them without a means to determine what scholarly value should be assigned to the project. The author provides a solution to this problem by proposing three processes of archival theory as criteria: selection, search, and the application of metadata. To support this idea, the author examines several digital representations to illustrate how selection, search functionality, and metadata application impact, inform, and interpret the historical knowledge that a digital representation aims to impart. While the author believes technology has improved the ways in which history is conveyed to wider, non-specialized audiences, he explains the important role that more traditional approaches have on archival theory and historical practice and argues for their assimilation into digital humanities scholarship.

Description
An account of the resource
In this article, Venezia discusses the influence of the archive on the comics of Alan Moore and proposes using the archive as a “model and method” for “reading the history” presented in similar types of graphic narratives. Ephemeral objects of history, including diaries, photographs, and other memorabilia that form archival collections abound in Moore’s comics. The comic’s unique ability to feature fragments of the past juxtaposed or placed within the space of the present and an imagined future renders the comic its historiographic quality. Venezia suggests the archival elements of the comic legitimizes its representation of history and illuminates for the reader popular cultural attitudes. In the examples given, he identifies fears of unemployment and the anticipation of the government’s demise indicating the social context and at a deeper level, the presentation of history as an archive. The importance of preserving the scattered remnants of a society as depicted in the comic is not just a narrative device; it is an acknowledgement of the archive’s power in making people aware of the present.

Description
An account of the resource
Jeff Rothenber’s Avoiding Technological Quicksand addresses the fragility of digital documents and information, and suggests that “emulation” is the most reliable way to prolong the life of data, while also discussing the limitations of several previous attempts and arguments about creating persistent digital artifacts. He discusses the idea of obsolescence at length, noting that the loss of systems, hardware, and software required to access digital documents is a primary concern for libraries and archives that wish to preserve the longevity of digital documents in their collections. He offers a theoretical framework for considering the design and implementation of systems that would extend the life of digital artifacts by making them transferable into other formats. He suggest that emulation, or the ability to mimic the functionality of software and hardware through new interfaces should be the focus of digital archival research aimed to prolong the quality of, and access to the digital information archivists are trying to maintain.

Description
An account of the resource
Within this academic journal, Wasson et al provides the reader with both research and findings from their self-conducted workshop that sparks conversation between “fields of user-centered design (UCD) and language archives” (Wasson et al). Within the article itself, there is emphasis on the challenges of digital archiving in regard to language archiving, navigating cultural practices, and then using the understanding of these concepts to make informed archive design decisions. These concepts all arise within their workshop, “User-Centered Design of Language Archives.” Specifically, a very important discovery that is made within the workshop is how, “most language archives are not meeting the needs of most users” (Wasson et al).
I found the information within this article and, further, within their study, to be extremely informative of and pertinent to the study of digital archiving and the challenges that arise from the format of language. The focus on the user and user-based design is a step towards personalizing and adapting existing archives while also setting a new standard for language archives. As mentioned prior, this study not only analyzed existing archives, but it also uncovered flaws within the archiving practice. This showcases the relevancy and need for this study and I believe it also warrants the inclusion of such an item within the showcase.
