Here is a link to our final project, which took a look at word frequencies in Convocation descriptions to reflect on what kinds of topics and speakers Convocations have featured over time, from 1962-1978, then from 1978-2020. Take a gander! Visit our website here
Our project revolves around “Carleton College Today,” a video we discovered in the Carleton College Digital Collections, originating sometime between 1964 and 1967. Using videography we recreated selected scenes and compiled it into a new Carleton College Today video. In addition, we created a storymap tour that displays the locations in which each clip was […]

Teagan Johnson, Eli Offman, Hannah Sheridan, Alexei Thomas This project investigates Carleton’s OCS programming, dating back to the ’90s. Specifically, how the school tends to underrepresent STEM interested students with relevant study abroad opportunities. Our project uses data collected from the OCS office, the Carleton Archives, and the Colleges’ website to help build an in-depth […]
ArcGIS Storymaps are a useful way to incorporate maps, images, video, and text into an easy-to-read, easy-to-navigate digital platform. Maps created in ArcGIS can be embedded and they remain interactive, allowing for the same information to be presented in an easier to navigate presentation. Images, video, and text can also be easily incorporated, providing context […]
Our project revolves around using rephotography to recreate selected footage of a film we found in the Carleton College archives. In addition to using rephotography, we have created a Storymap tour that displays the locations in which each clip was filmed. Here is the link for our project: https://www.carletontradition.mikekombate.com/
Our final project is a network visualizing co-taught classes listed in Carleton’s academic catalogs from the last 20 years. We show the correlations between professors and departments, hoping to find a larger pattern about which departments co-teach the most frequently. We are about 75% of the way done with our project, but here is a […]
Big Question: Does Carleton fail to uphold the institution’s professed goals of education by failing to provide STEM majors with diverse off-campus opportunities? Palladio: Below is the code for the Palladio presentation. It is a plain text file, but once downloaded, it should be converted to a JSON file. After converting it to a JSON […]
The Carleton College Arboretum (more commonly known as the Arb) was founded in 1926, and has since been used as farmland, the meeting place for the Reformed Druids of North America, and a place for Carleton students to get exercise, learn, or otherwise just enjoy nature. The Arb has undergone many changes throughout the years […]
Group member Songyan Zhao, Yixing Song, Zhihan Yang Introduction Su Shi (1037-1101) is arguably the most famous poet in China. He had an adventurous life; he dwelled in several cities with very different humanistic and geographical characteristics. These factors had strong influences on his work, hence the importance to understand them. We believe that an interactive […]
Take a look at what we’ve been chugging away at for the past few weeks! Introduction This project takes on Convocation data from Carleton College, since its beginnings in 1962, to its brief intermission from 1968 through 1977, then to its reintroduction in 1978 until the present, to understanding patterns over time using text analysis. […]
This project used information from Dacie Moses House and the Carleton Archives to create a site about the House’s history and the activities that take place there. The site includes an about section, a brief history of the house, an interactive timeline, graphs which depict the data we obtained from Dacie Moses house, including frequency […]
ArcGIS is a really powerful tool that allows us to create interactive information maps. This tool could combine the GIS map and other information (such as 3D models, text, and pictures). If you want to know how to use this powerful tool, the first step is, surely, open the app. So, firstly, you can search […]
Hello! Sit down and get comfortable. I’ve decided to go meta and show you how to use a tool you can use to make a variety of things including tutorials!

For those of us who are less than mediocre with technology, WordPress plugins are a godsend. I discovered the limitless possibilities within plugins after I struggled to write code that would change my website’s cursor. After spending a great deal of time without any success, I discovered a plugin called Cursor Control, which made it […]
While attempting to recreate OCS data from old printouts to google sheets, I found that for the sake of time and sanity, I could not quickly convert 10 years of OCS programming by hand. Thus, I started looking into a number of OCR programs. OCR essentially allows you to take jpeg or non-highlightable pdfs and […]
While there are numerous data visualization tools available, GGPlot still stands as one of the more comprehensive and creatively flexible platforms. GGPlot is a data visualization package for R, a widely used statistical computing program. Compared to tools like popular visualization tools like Tableau, GGPlot is much harder to understand (it’s syntax/structure can be frustrating […]

Either way, the process begins the same way: by uploading a JPG, PNG, or GIF. Once this file is uploaded, Juxta Editions offers two methods […]
This tutorial covers how to resize an image with the online tool Waifu2x and digitally clean a scanned image in Adobe Photoshop. The example image that I chose to use for this tutorial is a map, as I feel like old maps are a good example of images that Digital Humanists would want to clean […]
For this tutorial, I selected Stanford’s Palladio tool. I was interested in learning about this tool for my final project and also because I find the mapping aspect of the digital humanities very interesting. Palladio can be used for many different data displays. It can show movement between points on a map, link maps together, […]
There are many organizational and collaborative apps out there, but from my experience, one that changes the way you work – as a team or on your own in projects is Trello. At first look, Trello seems like any ordinary organizational software, but Trello is such a powerful tool of collaboration especially in the context […]
Recogito is a new text annotation software used to analyse and critique text without the messy brackets.
