    In the spring of 2023, thirteen students at Saint Mary's College took the Digital Humanities Project Lab course offered through the English Department and affiliated with the Digital and Public Humanities program.

  • The Peripheral Manuscripts Project
    This project, hosted at Indiana University Bloomington, will digitize and create item-level metadata for 74 codices and 617 medieval manuscript fragments from twenty-two primarily non-R1 Midwestern institutions. Indiana University Libraries’ Digital Collection Services will scan or photograph holdings, and researchers at IU Bloomington, Loyola University Chicago, and Saint Mary’s College will create metadata for these objects, including many items unrecorded in previous bibliographical surveys. Resulting item descriptions and high-resolution, IIIF-compliant images will be made freely available through a digital consortial repository hosted by Indiana University Libraries. This project focuses on small collections that have not been economically feasible for holding institutions to digitize on their own and thus will bring a wealth of previously inaccessible and uncatalogued material to scholarly consciousness. This new material will be aggregated with existing digitized collections to yield a more comprehensive understanding of North American manuscript holdings.
  • Refugee Narratives: Ten Stories of Cambodian Refugees
    As a part of ENLT 290: Digital Humanities Project Lab, students edited a series of first-person refugee accounts collected by Sister Paula Goettlemann in a small journal during her time in Cambodia, and used these narratives as the basis for the digital exhibition. They also included additional items held in the Sisters of the Holy Cross Archives and Records that illustrated the work of the Sisters of the Holy Cross in Cambodia both during and following the oppressive Khmer Rouge regime.

  • Michiana Jewish Historical Society
    The Michiana Jewish Historical Society was founded in the mid-1990s to document and share the story of Jewish life in the Michiana area with current and future generations. The founders, led by Mendel, Louis, and David Piser, Chuck Simon, and others formed an organization whose purpose is to record that history, make it available to the Jewish and general communities, and promote understanding and appreciation of the Jewish experience in Michiana. Today, in addition to MJHS’s original mission (to be a repository for photos, stories, and artifacts that provide a comprehensive record of the Michiana Jewish community), we also focus on Family Education and Programming so that adults and children can learn and appreciate more about their family’s history, wherever that history began!
