Great new tool from Flickr foundation - the Data Lifeboat, to package up Flickr image collections and get them out of dodge quickly, with metadata and readmes. Speaking to urgency of portability of digital cultural heritage given current times. They need some testers to play and give feedback 👇

Michigan has some really touching shipwreck museums, including one on Beaver Island. I believe the SS Edmund Fitzgerald is commemorated in the museum on Whitefish Point.

Okay, you had me at that very first paragraph about the beach! (Looking forward to reading the whole thing).

I don’t know why this zoom hack didn’t occur to me until now, but if you have an activity where you want students/colleagues to call on each other/go around the virtual room—e.g. when making introductions—have everyone raise their hand & then lower them when done—no guessing as to who hasn’t gone

I love to revisit Colleen Morgan's 2019 article, "Avatars, Monsters, and Machines: A Cyborg Archaeology" from the Journal of European Archaeology.

Has anyone ever requested image licensing permission from the Istanbul Archaeological Museum and received this email?

I'm a little hesitant to send in my personal info.

I always enjoy reading my grad program's digital newsletter (aimed at alumni + current), and I try to send updates when I have them. Helps me stay connected and gives us something to talk about at conferences and events.

"I wonder how many of those views are mine?" --every AWOL user who sees this. :)

I'm not currently teaching, but when I taught ancient/medieval digital history I included a unit on numismatics largely because the digital resources were so readily available.

Hoping to see some familiar faces at #DH2025 next week.
