What digital archives or exhibits (including digital humanities projects) have you found impressive, and why?

Sunday, June 5, 2022 - 2:50am

Disaster STS Network (disaster-sts-network.org) The Formosa Plastics Global Record Archive is impressive to me because of how it displays the information to users and its organization. I find this archive very easy to navigate and find information. I think the PECE essay format is used to its fullest potential here and I hope to potentially do something similar in the Santa Ana EiJ archive. I especially like how it is organized in two main sections, places and facilities. This is a good way to situate people in the data and locations.

What experiences have shaped your interest in and concerns about research data sharing?

In many instances throughout my research I have found it difficult to find databases/resources on topics like historical facility information in the city of Santa Ana. By creating an archive that would track all relevant data on these facilities it will be easier for not only me but hopefully others to find information on these facilities. The archive format allows a good opportunity to share data in a concise and detailed manner that is hard to find for the research I have done.

What experiences have you had archiving, working with digital tools and designing digital architecture (including websites)?

I have worked with the Disaster STS website to archive Santa Ana city council meetings. I used archive bundles to put all relevant documents and recordings in one spot so people can quickly find information on these meetings. Documents in these bundles included news articles, advocacy letters, Ej group policy recommendations, and implemented city policy.

I have experience in photography and some knowledge in video editing. These skills have been helpful in documenting events related to the archive.
