Introduction to My Photo
Archive



    Hello again, how have you been? It has been a while since my last post. Today I want to introduce a major component in Digital Humanities. For this post and the upcoming posts after, we will be looking at Archives, what they are and for experiment's sake, I will make an archive of my own. 

    You must be wondering what an archive is, well it is basically a collection of documents, photos, audios, videos, records, etc. that can be electronic or physical for different purposes most likely for future purposes. An example of this is when businesses keep records of their transactions and other important documents for future legal purposes, like paying taxes. Libraries keep archives or historical documents and artifacts for research and learning purposes.

    The archive that I will be making will include pictures that I took over a week's time. What I did was take three pictures a day for an entire week, which I will then create a Photo Archive for. This Archive will consist mainly of photos taken while I am inside my home of random objects that I think could tell a story behind what my life has been like for the past few months especially with the pandemic still occurring. 

    The Photo Archive will be posted very soon after this post so I hope you will take a look at it and leave a comment if you must. But until next time, stay safe and I will talk to you next time.  

 

~Bye~

Oral History

Oral History Hello all, how have you guys been since my last post? I hope you’re all doing ok. Today we will be going into another aspect under Digital Humanities which will be Oral History. Oral history is “ the collection and study of historical information using sound recordings of interviews with people having personal knowledge of past events” (Google Dictionary). Some examples of these are podcasts and interviews.   I know you must be wondering, how is oral history any different from a photograph or written history? Well, I can say from a viewer’s perspective and from a participant’s perspective the experience is very different. When we listen to oral history there’s more context to the story or event, meaning that you will get a better understanding of what the person has to say by the way they react to different things and the tone of voice they use, the emotions that they express through their language, etc. Oral history can be very personal so whenever you listen to it...

What is Digital Humanities?

    What is Digital Humanities? Hello again, since we have already been introduced, I will dive into my thoughts so far on what Digital Humanities is. Last time in my introduction I gave a brief explanation of what I thought Digital Humanities was and now I am going to go more into dept and expound on the idea. Today I will also evaluate a Digital Humanities Project to give a better understanding of Digital humanities on a general level. Digital Humanities is how we gather information, study that information, and the findings or conclusions that we come to after the interpretation of all the knowledge we have gained using digital tools. Digital tools can be any platform on the internet where one can use to upload information or use information that was already on the internet like online videos, images, still and moving texts, etc., and then it is posted as a Digital Humanities Project. This platform, Blogger.com, is one example of platforms where you will find Digital Pro...

Introduction

Welcome to my Blog Hello all, welcome to my blog. I'm Raheema Morris and I am an international college student majoring in Business Management at  Saint Francis College . Most of my free time is spent listening to music all day every day and reading  Webtoon   comics. I also have been  teaching myself new crafts and such, like crocheting swimsuits and other apparel for the past year.  However, on this blog, we will be taking a look into Digital Humanities (DH) by providing information, experimenting, and making use of digital tools. It is basically how we study and interpret the different cultures and societies around the world and the knowledge that we gain from this. It also includes the study of how the different forms of humanities should be interpreted and what effect they have on its audience or the public.  If you are not familiar with Digital Humanities this will be a learning experience for both of us, so I hope you stay tuned for more pos...
