#aha23 — Public Fediverse posts

At #AHA23, #SimonSchuster generously handed out a few free copies of this new book about #enslaved #African people and their contributions to expanding and enlarging "the very concept of American freedom". Looking forward to digging in and learnng from this 800+ page tome. #BlackHistory #AfricanHistory #histodons

Outgoing AHA president James Sweet argues that attempts to make history an instrument and accoutrement of justice risk, “replacing one set of myths and lies with another.” In fact #HistoricalJustice is perfectly compatible w rigorous social science. #histodons #aha23

I don't think Cameron is on Mastodon yet so I guess this is a manual RT for folk into teaching #SpatialHistory:

Three years ago, we launched the Sourcery project at AHA 2020 in New York. COVID-19 stymied our plans, as it did so many #research visits to #archives. But it also gave us an opportunity to take more seriously our archivist colleagues' needs and concerns when it comes to the challenges and opportunities of remote access to archives.

We spent the pandemic listening to and working with archivists. The result is a fully refactored application that will support both sides of the remote document request workflow -- that of the researcher AND the archivist.

Now at #AHA23, we're pleased to announce that #Sourcery will reopen on March 1st as a one-stop destination for requesting document scans from across the U.S.
