Congratulations to Julia Flanders, who just won the Busa prize for lifetime achievement! @juliaflanders.bsky.social #DH2026

My boiling hot take on this is that, if tech companies are going to fund this kind of research (looking at Schmidt too), then the money needs to be given *no strings* to an independent arm's length research body, pooled with other funding, and treated as a donation not as direct funding.

Who is writing about rescuing tech-for-good from technosolutionism? I’m looking for insights on how we use the wise insights from the anti-technosolutionist analysis while maintaining a space for better informed enthusiastic tech-for-good communities and keep the space for nerd voluntarism.

After a hiatus, EMDigIt is back with BIG news! 📯 The Core Italian Itinerary dataset is now publicly available as feature layers published on ArcGIS Online. More than 3,700 georeferenced way-points and 6,000 route segments taken from 8 Italian-language itineraries published from 1562-1720.

Being at Chalke History Festival reminds me yet again how interconnected university-based history and other forms of history-making are. The thing we do in one place explicitly supports the thing we do in another. University cuts, closures and job losses harm the entire history eco-system.
