Comments on: Open Research Notebooks in the Humanities http://aha2013.thatcamp.org/12/28/open-research-notebooks-in-the-humanities/ The Humanities and Technology Camp Wed, 09 Jan 2013 21:15:03 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=4.9.12 By: Bob Kosovsky http://aha2013.thatcamp.org/12/28/open-research-notebooks-in-the-humanities/#comment-144 Wed, 09 Jan 2013 21:15:03 +0000 http://aha2013.thatcamp.org/?p=131#comment-144 Apparently the idea of an open electronic notebook has already been talked about in the sciences. Take a look at this:

Here’s the slides from a talk given at the Special Libraries Association showing additional uses of such a notebook:

You don’t have any of this stuff on your wiki – it needs a home!

Perhaps one thing to discuss would be how to identify other historians who are doing this sort of thing and link them up with each other. Maybe a wiki and badge system like ONSclaims.

I’ve tried (in the smallest baby-steps) to create a public wiki for my own work. I found it hard to manage the creation of the wiki and its content while the project itself was distinct from the wiki. In my own case it was the difference between the expectation of the form of the dissertation and the non-expected side project of the wiki that clashed.

I’d love to talk about how open archiving might constitute a form of publishing that stands alongside other professional writing. That idea comes from reading about this project: “Nazi Tunnels: Underground Factory Dispersal Projects of World War II” at nazitunnels.org I.E., His site and archive are part of his dissertation.

Jane Greenway Carr (NYU) and Cecily Swanson (Cornell) spoke about their Archive Notebook, currently on a Tumbler blog, in which they document “rejects” from their work. Get in touch with them:

THanks!
