SpringerLinkAn interface to view collections of visual art - International Journal of Digital HumanitiesArt experts prefer being able to look at the individual images they are working on in the course of their research. However, if one were to look at digitally accessible images in the field of visual art, one would be dealing with billions of images; no one can handle visually examining such huge numbers of images one at a time. Therefore, art experts need special tools to examine and describe artworks in the context of other artworks. We used our experience from previous projects and interviews with members of the target group (art historians, curators, art dealers, and artists) to identify the central issues these experts encounter when working with large image collections and to determine the functionality and properties a system must offer to support their work. The results led to the customized interface LadeCA.View, which is now used in several projects. LadeCA.View enables experts to describe an exhibition or a collection of visual art in such a way that a user can obtain an overview of the intention, content, and structures of the exhibition or collection within a short period of time without looking at each image individually. LadeCA.View can also be used as an interface to probe more deeply into a collection or exhibition. In this paper we show the functions and visualizations of the interface and explain the design decisions. Furthermore, we outline LadeCA.View’s scope of applicability using three case studies

ZoomWelcome! You are invited to join a meeting: Connect to Collect: Preserving Social Digital Photography Through Collaboration and Community Engagement. After registering, you will receive a confirmation email about joining the meeting.A Talk by Karolina Hedström, Stockholm County Museum, Sweden and Bente Jensen, Aalborg City Archives, Denmark This talk will present the Connect to Collect, a collaborative network of museums and archives dedicated to collecting and preserving social digital photography. Through the development of the innovative web app Connect to Collect, we aim to explore new methods for gathering and curating this vital form of contemporary heritage. Our current project emphasizes community engagement, employing citizen science approaches to address contemporary themes such as social and ecological sustainability, place, identity and sudden traumatic events (such as the 2017 Stockholm Terrorist Attack). Everyday digital photography—often shared on social media—represents a powerful documentation of modern society from the perspective of citizens and communities. Together, Nordic museums and archives involved in this initiative are pioneering participatory strategies to preserve this invaluable cultural heritage.

Have never been to Florida but once upon a time FAU's Recorded Sound Archive Judaica collection was the top digitised Yiddish music archive, still in the top 5. I for one won't use it anymore and may be petty enough to remove old links to it from blog posts. Fuck 'em.

If you use digitized items (photos, manuscripts) or digitized historical audio/visual archives for your research, there is a new study out trying to understand how you find/use digitized, online library materials. The short, anonymous survey should take approximately 8-10 minutes to complete. forms.office.com/r/nuqD9ZJzFq

My latest #blog post, trying to sort and make a bit more sense of all the scores I got from the Library of Congress from #klezmer bandleader and recording artist Israel J. Hochman. I made a table trying to connect his music manuscripts to commercial #78rpm recordings by Hochman's various groups in the 1910s and 20s.
