Family Portrait: A Digital Archive of my Heritage

This project was created to serve as a personal digital archive for a selection of my family photographs. The objective was to preserve these photographs and their descriptive information and make this accessible to family members within and outside of Canada. This project is hosted on Scalar, an open-source digital humanities publishing platform. This platform was selected because it supports born-digital scholarship and it has Dublin Core built-in as the metadata schema. Scalar was also selected for its pathway functionality. This was utilized to show the relationship between the fonds and item levels of the digital archive, following the Rules for Archival Description standard (RAD). This project was created under the supervision of John Richan, Digital Archivist for the Records Management and Archives Department at Concordia University. To view this project please click here.

The Seahorse Project

This project is a digital exhibit for a sample of the Redpath Museum’s (McGill University) seahorse collection. This digital exhibit is hosted on Omeka, which is an open-sourced web-publishing platform that was intended for displaying library, archive, and museum collections. The site can be continued by the museum to increase access to its holdings. The Seahorse Project was created in collaboration with Christina Hilburger, and Donna Langille.
