Oh and on a good roll.
I tell ya, it’s hard to find a good breakfast sandwich outside of the tri-state area (and most of New England). Enjoy!

As our program officer for Histories of the National Mall, he wanted to know all of the intellectual and technical decisions, affordances & challenges of designing mobile-first public history projects. A few years later, I had the privilege of becoming his colleague. He will be missed by many.

Yes to all.
Perhaps even the cover of a birding notebook.
You could use some of the bird families —hummingbirds, parrots, warblers—to enjoy the rich colors and feather details. For ex, this cropped section would make a lovely card.

We all thank you!

It’s been a while since I’ve been at a uni, so this maybe the most naive question of the year!

So much this.

Congratulations, Matthew and your team! Great to see this body of work continue to expand.

So many open seats, and current members’ terms have expired.

Pleased to be listening in, and sad that this is the final event for your group.

I especially love that there is a category for Digital public history projects - $1,000. These must be "non-commercial interpretative research project, designed primarily for non-academic audiences and presented online and freely available for the general public." Any topic within postal history.
