Exhibits

The Digital Humanities Lab hosts Omeka and Omeka S projects, which allows students and faculty to showcase cultural heritage collections and build digital exhibition content. Do you have a research project? Do you want to make into a sharable collection or exhibit? We can support the project from start to finish, and we find Omeka an especially good platform for student and class-based projects.

Exit Projects

MA students in the Museums, Heritage, and Public History program complete exit projects as part of their degree requirements. These projects are the equivalent of a master’s thesis and span the range of interpretive and practical array of museum and public history professional practices.

Maps

Many humanists and social scientists who engage cultural topics use space and place as an analytic lens in their work. As a member of the Taylor Geospatial Institute, UMSL’s Geospatial Collaborative is one of the ways that mapping is supported on campus. The DH lab helps faculty and students pose spatial research questions and visualize their data in a variety geospatial platforms.

Multi-Media

Audiovisual media is an important source of data for the digital humanities, and our lab supports a variety of initiatives related to this work. We offer digital oral history project support by lending zoom audio recording kits, video cameras and tripods, and providing project archival support through the OHMS digital oral history platform. We can also help you plan out your project with support on interview script development, release forms, and other practical matters related to oral history work. UMSL students, faculty, and staff have contributed to a number of community-based audio and video projects, as well.
