Interactive Character Assassination: The Ethics of Historical Video Game DesignM. H Beals
Like their cinematic counterparts, video games set in historical environments continue to be some of the most popular and best-selling of the medium. Historical settings from the ancient world to recent past form the backdrop or story for games across multiple genres, from arcade-style shooters to story-driven RPGs to intricate turn-based strategy games. The interactive nature of video games, and the player's ability to make meaningful choices within that setting, raises important ethical questions regarding the presentation of historical characters. Recent cases against the Call of Duty franchise, for their portrayal of 20th-century figures, are clear evidence of the impact such portrayals can have on those directly affected, but decisions about the portrayal of and possible interactions with long-dead individuals are equally deserving of critical attention. Likewise, gameplay mechanics, such as the manoeuvrability of sailing vessels or the damage inflicted by projectile weapons, are points of significant debate amongst both academic and gaming communities and can considerably impact both the commercial and critical success of a game. This paper will discuss the practical and ethical considerations of designing historical video games and how best to approach design in both a commercially viable and scholarly robust manner.

Georgian Pingbacks: Mapping Attribution Networks in a 19th-Century Newspaper ...M. H Beals
This document summarizes research on mapping attribution networks in 19th century newspaper articles. It describes "scissors-and-paste journalism" where one newspaper would reprint content from another, with or without attribution. The research used text comparison software to analyze newspaper articles from 1818-1819 and identify reprints. A network graph of reprints between newspapers was generated. Preliminary results found the most common sources of reprinted articles were from Ipswich, London, and other locations. The research helps shed light on historical newspaper practices and ethics of unattributed reprinting.
Boutique Big Data: Understanding 19th-Century Reprint Culture With Plagiarism...M. H Beals
From their earliest incarnations in the seventeenth-century, through their Georgian expansion into provincial and colonial markets and culminating in their late-Victorian transformation into New Journalism, British newspapers have relied upon scissors-and-paste journalism to meet consumer demands for the latest political intelligence and diverting content. Although this practice, wherein one newspaper extracted or wholly duplicated content from another, is well known to scholars of the periodical press, in-depth analysis of the process is hindered by the lack of formal records relating to the reprinting process. Although anecdotes abound, attributions were rarely and inconsistently given and, with no legal requirement to recompense the original author, formal records of where material was obtained were unnecessary. Even if they had existed, the number of titles that relied upon reprinted material makes systematic analysis impossible; for many periodicals, only a few issues, let alone business records, survive. However, mass digitisation of these periodicals, in both photographic and machine-readable form, offers historians a new opportunity to rediscover the mechanics of nineteenth-century reprinting. By undertaking multi-modal and multi-scale analyses of digitised periodicals, we can begin to reconstruct the precise journeys these texts took from their first appearance to their multiple ends. Moreover, by repurposing individual ‘boutique’ research outputs within large-scale textual analyses, we can greatly enhance the resolution of our computer-aided conclusions and bridge the gaps between commercial, state and private databases.
This paper will explore the possibilities of large-scale reprint identification, using out-of-the-box and project-specific software and the nature of multi-scale analysis and how we might best reintegrate ‘boutique’ research into large-scale text-mining projects.
Imagining Communities: The Glasgow Advertiser and the Kentucky Frontier, 1790...M. H Beals
At the end of the eighteenth-century, The Glasgow Advertiser was the epitome of scissors-and-paste journalism. Under the sole proprietorship of John Mennons, this eight-page, biweekly newspaper provided the denizens of Glasgow with news from throughout Europe and the far reaches of the British Empire – all for 3 ½ pence an issue. Like many other provincial presses in Great Britain, Mennons worked as the paper’s main reporter, editor, compositor and printer and obtained the majority of its non-local content from London newspapers, curating the selection of national, international and imperial intelligence that would most appeal to the local Glaswegian audience. In some cases, this meant a truncated version of a lengthy account; in others, one or several full articles from the same page were reprinted in full. These were supplemented by a small amount of original reporting, rumours acquired from the Trongate, lists of local prices and sequestrations and the occasional humorous anecdote.
With so much of the Advertiser’s content mere reproduction, and with limited local competition, it is difficult to glean more than a faint spectre of Glaswegian public opinion from the newspaper press. Indeed, by most scholarly accounts, the Advertiser, though ultimately successful, was a thoroughly dull publication. Yet, there is something more lies hidden just below the surface. Although Mennons refused to surrender the Advertiser‘s accounts to it new owner in 1802 – their contents remaining a mystery – his editorial practices, and many of the biases and assumptions that informed them, can be reconstructed by examining his more unusual curatorial choices.
In 1780 and 90s, the Ohio River Valley was engulfed in warfare between the fledgling United States and a confederacy of tribes, including the military astute Miami. Over the course of the decade, Mennons devoted a disproportionate level of coverage to these engagements, often leading to the inclusion of tangential and dubious linkages to other skirmishes between European, United States and Native American groups. Going well beyond his traditional sources of news content, Mennons demonstrated particularly interest and skill in weaving the story of the Little Turtle Wars to his Glaswegian readers, leaving clues as to his vision of the relationship between the Scots and the North American frontier. This paper will explore the digital methods behind reprinting mapping, the process which allows us to discover the unattributed sources that made up the Glasgow Advertiser‘s news content, and the means by which curation, the choices made by reprinting editors, can provide us with a nuanced and revealing understanding of scissors-and-paste men, whose voices, until recently, were thought irrevocably lost.
Boutique Big Data: Reintegrating Close and Distant Reading of 19th-Century Ne...M. H Beals

Finally, it will explore the nature of multi-scale analysis and how we might best reintegrate ‘boutique’ periodical research into large-scale text-mining projects.
Lies, Damned Lies and Statistics: History and the Impact AgendaM. H Beals
This document discusses the impact agenda in history and issues with altmetrics. It notes that historians define impact as partnerships with museums, commentary opportunities, documentaries, online exhibits, work with schools and heritage sectors, policy consultancy, and popular books. However, altmetrics are far lower for history articles and do not fully capture traditional impact. Altmetrics also overrepresent author involvement and underrepresent monographs. The document argues that good impact should be purposeful through citation, word-of-mouth, curation, and helping to share research. Impact includes academic allusions, appearances in media, influence on heritage and public history, and Wikipedia citations. Qualitative assessment is important over just statistics.

Evolutionary Plagiarism: Tracing Dissemination Pathways in 19th-Century ReprintsM. H Beals
A paper given at the University of Lancaster, 4 December 2014.
In the late-Georgian period, Scotland witnesses exponential growth in its newspaper industry. From a handful of eighteenth-century periodicals, the press expanded rapidly into the industrial and market towns of Scotland, hoping to supply a growing demand for international, domestic and local news and human interest stories. One of many avenues for procuring this content was the expanding press of North America. Owing to limited, ambiguous and unenforceable copyright legislation on both continents, a culture of reprinting allowed a rich tapestry of North American life to be woven in the British public consciousness. This repurposing, however, was far from transparent in its dissemination or evolution. In the absence of robust business or personal records detailing the selection and framing of such content in various locations, linguistic analysis of these reprinted texts can provide intriguing insights into the rationales behind reprinting, repurposing and recompiling descriptions of North America throughout the Anglophone world. This paper will discuss the opportunities and difficulties of reprint analyses of late-Georgian newspapers and present a number of case studies for the development of computer-aided methodologies in tracing dissemination pathways.
Mennons and MacGillivray: Scotland and the North American Frontier, 1790-1795M. H Beals
This document discusses the dissemination of news about the North American frontier in Scottish newspapers between 1790-1795. It focuses on John Mennons, the printer and editor of the Glasgow Advertiser, and Alexander MacGillivray, a Creek leader. The summary traces how stories about the frontier originating in American newspapers made their way indirectly to Scottish papers via reprinting in London papers, with minimal changes to the text. It concludes that tracing these pathways provides insight into who was writing, revising and curating frontier news at different points along the route.
Help Them Try Harder: Integrating the Digital into Historical ThinkingM. H Beals
A Discussion of Digital Methodologies and Theory in History Modules. Presented at the University of Warwick at the invitation of IATL, 19 November 2014.
The document discusses digital humanities and educational technology (EdTech). Digital humanities involves using technology to develop new methodologies for examining how digital influences perceptions and interactions with humanities. EdTech refers to technology used in teaching. The document provides examples of how EdTech tools can be used for Canaries, such as accessing and revising teaching content, and for African Swallows, such as peer-to-peer learning through social media and developing employability skills. It also discusses teaching digital archive theory and practice skills like corpus linguistics, GIS, and data visualization, as well as integrating research-led pedagogy using digital tools.
Hunt or Gather, Share or Steal:Scottish News Networks, 1790-1840M. H Beals
Between 1783 and 1840, the number of newspapers published in Scotland grew tenfold and spread far beyond the key port towns of Glasgow, Edinburgh, and Aberdeen into market towns and centres throughout the region. Although these provincial newspapers remained weekly or bi-weekly publications throughout the period, they still required a significant amount of international reportage to fill their four to eight pages. This material was shamelessly, and often haphazardly, gleaned from international periodicals in the form of scissors-and-paste reprints. Through these half-hearted shortcuts, we can develop a significant understanding of newspaper networks before the rise of international telegraphy and the slow decline of the scissors-and-paste system.
Utilising highly detailed transcriptions of newspaper content from Scotland, England and the wider Anglophone world, this paper will trace key dissemination pathways of news content from its origin in various British colonies and the United States, through its many reprints, abridgments, summaries and commentaries, to the pages of Scottish periodical press. By mapping the shape and directionality of these network connections, a greater understanding of news dissemination and editorial links can be achieved. These networks can then form the statistical basis of further qualitative studies into the spread of ideas or interpersonal connections.
The paper, developed and expanded from an initial proposal presented at ESSHC 2014, will demonstrate how, through a combination of traditional close reading, ‘big data’ edition tracking, and social network analysis, Georgian news networks, including periodicals with extremely short runs and no contextual records, can be significantly mapped and the quantitative influence of key hubs can be preliminarily determined. It will explore the relative value of manual and computer-assisted transcriptions at different stages of the project, the feasibility of training historians in high-level programming languages such as Python, the nature of the resulting network data and its interoperability with mathematical and sociology research, and the possibilities for wider dissemination and collective reuse of transcription data. Finally, the piece will demonstrate, through select case studies, how basic quantitative data regarding network dissemination pathways can fundamentally alter our interpretation of the purpose of miscellany material in Scotland’s provincial press.
Mapping Implicit Processes: Extracting Social Networks from Digital CorporaM. H Beals
This document discusses extracting social networks from digital corpora to understand the dissemination of information. It covers identifying reprints and memes at scale using digitized newspapers. Methods include keyword searching, n-gram matching, and edition tracking. Understanding dissemination pathways involves identifying memes, modeling chronological spread, and constructing genealogical models. Both manual and computer-aided approaches are discussed, with future plans involving developing a computer program and directional social network database to better model relatedness factors and inform additional research.
