Adam Crymble - Digital History seminar 15 October 2013Digital History
This document summarizes information about the Programming Historian website and lessons. It provides analytics on popular lessons and time spent on pages. It discusses the different types of readers and lessons available, including learning tools, skills, or programming languages. The document considers who the lessons are useful for and how readers find the website. It also outlines the writers' sharing and learning approach, and the site leaders' goals of expanding contributors and lessons.
This document discusses using texts to explore historical texts through geographical text analysis. It provides examples analyzing literature from the Lake District using GIS mapping of places mentioned. It also analyzes the Registrar General's reports from 1851-1911 contained in the Histpop collection. Key points made include:
1) Places, events, and themes can be identified and mapped from literature and reports by tagging place names and coding texts in XML.
2) Comparing the geographical distribution of place name mentions between different authors' texts and comparing to statistics can provide insights.
3) Analyzing collocations and keyword-in-context extracts relating to themes like diseases from the Histpop reports allows comparisons to be made with statistical evidence
This document summarizes the employment history and offenses of convict Edward Kennedy from his arrival in 1832 until 1839. It shows that he was initially assigned to private masters but was repeatedly punished for insolence and assault, having his sentence extended. He spent time in road parties and public works before eventually having the remainder of his sentence remitted in 1839.
Hopkin digitising the first world war (dh seminar, june 2014)Digital History
Digitizing resources related to World War 1 provides opportunities to make historical information more accessible and give people ways to contribute their own family histories. Various organizations are working on digital archives that allow users to piece together life stories and see how the war affected people. Technical issues still need to be addressed around digitization, but select online resources now exist where people can learn about the war through sites dedicated to archives, records, cemeteries, personal collections, and Welsh experiences of the time period.

The document summarizes a gender and history seminar that discussed several important female figures and issues affecting women's rights. It mentions Dr. Althea Legal-Miller, who was the speaker, and discusses Dorothy Height advocating against unsanitary pelvic exams of female inmates in jails. It also references the Tuskegee syphilis study, Anne Karro, Amelia Boynton, and how Dr. Hays equated promiscuous women with female jail inmates during civil rights demonstrations in the 1960s.
Holford mapping the medieval countryside 2014-06-17Digital History
This document summarizes a research project to digitize and analyze medieval English inquisitions post mortem (IPMs) from 1418-1446. The project aims to create an online, indexed database of IPMs containing information on landholding, tenure, valuations, demography, and other topics. Preliminary findings show distributions of landholding sizes and values that provide new insights into medieval economy and society. The digitized data allows analysis not possible with printed records, such as mapping land use and studying mortality rates over time. The project illuminates medieval life in new ways and serves as a model for continued study of primary sources.

The document contains data from 1955-2010 on cigarette excise taxes, retail prices, and per capita sales in Maine. It shows that the tax as a percentage of retail price increased from 52.2% in 1955 to 48.2% in 2010. Over this period, the retail price of cigarettes rose from $0.23 per pack to $6.24 per pack. Meanwhile, annual per capita cigarette sales in Maine declined from 133 packs in 1955 to 53 packs in 2010.
The document discusses population trends in Russia and worldwide. It presents data on historical and projected population growth, birth and death rates over time, patterns of fertility decline in different countries, and changes in life expectancy in Russia compared to other nations. Graphs and charts show population pyramids and statistics on population change, fertility rates, annual population increase, and the total fertility rate in Russia from the 1960s-2000s.
Generational Trends in Home Ownership: An Era of Renters?Nar Res
This document discusses generational trends in homeownership in the United States. It finds that homeownership rates have declined the most among younger generations like Millennials. While the Baby Boom generation experienced high rates of homeownership during their prime home-buying years, fewer Millennials are choosing to own homes compared to previous generations at the same age. This could reflect long-term generational shifts away from homeownership in the U.S. driven by rising housing costs and debt levels among younger people.
Via Christi Women's Connection: Breast Cancer Management in 2012Via Christi Health
This document discusses breast cancer trends, risks, screening recommendations, and advances in treatment. It notes that breast cancer is the most common cancer in women, with nearly 300,000 new cases per year in the US. Screening and early detection have increased survival rates over the past decade. While mammography screening is effective, some guidelines recommend beginning annual screening at age 50 rather than 40 due to the higher number of women needed to be screened to save one life at younger ages. The sequencing of the human genome project in 2003 and exponential growth of scientific knowledge have led to increases in targeted therapy options. While breast conservation is often possible, mastectomy is still required in some cases such as with BRCA mutations or extensive disease.

The document discusses how the aging baby boomer generation will impact charitable giving through legacies and inheritances over the coming decades as their numbers increase. As baby boomers age and pass away in larger numbers, total legacy income for charities is projected to grow significantly by 2050. However, factors like divorces, healthcare and pension costs may reduce the size of average bequests. The document also examines differences between core baby boomers and shadow boomers that could impact their likelihood and preferences for charitable giving later in life.
This document summarizes a panel discussion on using digital tools and methods in history education. Clare Rowan discussed using digital storytelling in the classroom, where students create short videos to demonstrate their understanding of course material. Robert Houghton discussed using digital games in the classroom to help students engage with historical topics and arguments in an interactive way. James Baker discussed his experiences introducing digital skills and methods to undergraduate history students at the University of Sussex through dedicated modules on topics like data modeling, visualization, and archiving. The panelists discussed both the benefits of these approaches for student learning and engagement, as well as challenges around resources, skills, and student expectations.

The document discusses how Benedictine monks from England responded to the revolution in France. It focuses on two monastic communities - St Gregory's in Douai, which was founded in 1606, and Lamspringe Abbey founded in 1630. The document aims to use prosopography, the study of the common characteristics of a historical group, to analyze how these English Benedictine communities responded to the revolutionary events in France.
Dr. Lisa Smith from the University of Essex discusses her crowdsourcing project to transcribe early modern recipes. The project involved having volunteers help transcribe recipes from receipt books, including one from Margaret Baker from ca. 1675. Transcribing the recipes helped uncover Baker's social network and provided insights into cooking and medical practices during the early modern period. Dr. Smith reflects on lessons learned from the project, including how coding transcription notes helped with searching and how the process gave volunteers a sense of feeling like professional historians.

This document discusses using network analysis on metadata from Tudor-era correspondence to map intelligence networks and identify important figures. It finds that Edward Courtenay, Earl of Devon, who was suspected of conspiracy, had unusually high "betweenness" in the network, suggesting he bridged opposed factions and was potentially dangerous. It also identifies the Catholic double agent John Snowden based on his betweenness and correspondence patterns. The analysis shows network properties can predict spies and conspirators by finding those who connect disparate groups.

It provides examples of steel engravings and wood engravings used in popular history books and travel guides during this period. Graphs show the increasing number of illustrations and their area in volumes of Charles Knight's Pictorial History of England, reflecting the growing popularity of illustrations in books during this time.
This document lists the titles of numerous 19th century newspapers from the United States and abroad. It includes major papers like the New York Times as well as smaller regional papers. The list appears to be compiled to show the wide circulation and reprinting of content across different publications in the 19th century newspaper landscape.
This document discusses mapping the neighborhoods and addresses of 18th century artists in Paris. It outlines sources like membership records from the Académie and almanacs that contain artist addresses. The addresses will be plotted on georeferenced historical maps of Paris from the 18th century. The mapped data and interactive platform will be made available online to show where artists lived and worked in different areas of Paris over time.

On April 10, 1848, between 150,000 and 300,000 Chartists gathered on Kennington Common in London to demand political reforms, including universal suffrage. This was one of the largest mass gatherings in British history up to that point. The meeting was peaceful and orderly, with the crowd listening to speeches calling for democratic reforms through non-violent means. However, the movement's petition to Parliament was rejected, disappointing the Chartists and diminishing the campaign's momentum.
