This term Allyson Long, Dartmouth class of 2017 and a Neukom Scholar, completed gathering and editing publication place data for those entries in Stainforth’s catalog to which he added publication place names. There are about 1500 publication places that we were able to identify from the catalog data. (Stay tuned for updates on our results!) While … Continue reading Introducing the Stainforth Recovery Vignettes

While researching the more exotic publication places we mapped from Stainforth’s library catalog, we discovered that he collected a book by Elizabeth Culman (1816-1833) published in St. Petersburg, Russia.  The “Wants” portion of the catalog indicates that he wanted to collect Culman’s Works published in 1834, the year after her death. He did not cross off the title … Continue reading Elizabeth Culman (1818-1833)

According to our publication place data, Mrs. Iliff published Poems, Upon Several Subjects, 2nd ed., in Malta in 1818. We were very intrigued and wanted to learn more about this title and author since it’s the only one in the catalog (we know of at this time) published in Malta. http://stainforth.colorado.edu/catalog/page?page=225 We had no trouble finding … Continue reading Mrs. Iliff, Poems, 2nd ed., Malta, 1818

According to its Worldcat record, The Hand Unseen was published in both English and Hebrew in Jerusalem in this year, and a microform copy of the English version exists … Continue reading Sophia Hovenden, Jerusalem

  DH Stainforth work as an RA was experiential by nature. In other words, there wasn’t an aspect of Stainforth editing that is not experiential learning, according to the editors (or from what I gleaned from their interviews) Communication was a key component, especially in terms of feeling part of a collaborative team. They noticed … Continue reading Experiential Learning in the Stainforth Project: RA Take-aways

Because I have been so lucky to work with fantastic researchers/students here at Dartmouth and at CU Boulder to work on the Stainforth Library of Women’s Writing, Dartmouth’s Digital Humanities librarians asked me to present on experiential learning in DH. As a doctoral student, I was also paid to work on a professor’s DH projects … Continue reading RA Interviews on Experiential Learning and The Stainforth Project
