Good evening,
I was trying to access the Digital Humanities at Community Colleges resources page, but the link is broken, is there any way that you could share those resources with me?

Many thanks,

Elan M. Birkeland

My thought exactly. 🙂 I use social media mostly, but i’m always looking to expand.

StoryMap and HistoryPin sound especially interesting. Looking forward to finding out more.

I’d be interested in knowing more about it. I teach Basic Writing and am looking for US history sources to augment an assignment I’m creating.

Hi All,
This fall we will be launching the Digital History of New Haven Project (launching may be an overstatement). The Digital History of New Haven Project will create an open access website dedicated to the history of New Haven, CT. Inspired by Tulane University’s Media NOLA Project (medianola.org/), this website will provide a forum for presenting the history of New Haven from the Colonial Era to today. The website will provide an opportunity for students to conduct research on any aspect of the history and development of New Haven and provide a venue through the use of digital technologies for the dissemination of the results. I am interested in any advice, tips, or feedback that people what to share.

This will be my first THAT camp. I have missed the boat on what sessions are about, please ignore this.

Chers,
TP

We do not have a single hotel set up for the event, but we do have some suggestions. The Best Western Falls Church (which is technically in Arlington, but still close to campus) is a good economical bet. If you want something closer to campus and a bit pricier (but in a nice area with tons of restaurants, shopping, etc.) I’d try the Hyatt House in Falls Church or Falls Church Mariott. The Courtyard by Mariott in Falls Church is near there as well and metro accessible. There are city buses that go to the campus from several metro stops. You can find this information (based on where you choose to stay) at wmata.com. Let us know if we can help with any further details. Looking forward to meeting you.

There are lots of hotels in Arlington – I would suggest using Trip Advisor to pick one of the better ones in that area. The conference is being held in Annandale (8333 Little River Turnpike, Annandale, VA), so if you are looking for something close to campus, I would suggest staying in Fairfax. If you have a particular hotel in mind but aren’t sure about the neighborhood, let me know which hotel.
