Visualizing the Gregory Archive: Using Digital Humanities Methods to Support Learning and Build Community In-Person

Art History Professor Jon Frey and Graphic Design Professor Rebecca Tegtmeyer will share a recent collaboration they facilitated with students utilizing the images archived in the Gregory Archive. These images document various aspects of archaeological fieldwork, art and architecture of the classical and Byzantine periods as well as daily life in various communities in the Mediterranean in the second half of the 20th century. The size and diversity of the collection is vast and hinders both discovery and the kind of sustained engagement that is needed to make it useful to those interested in post-classical antiquity. Students were challenged to develop both static and interactive visualizations to demonstrate the diversity and utility of the archive. This project serves as an example of how other digital humanities collections might re-imagine the scholarly affordances of an open access archive.
