What is the American Historical Association reading this week?
Today’s What We’re Reading features a new “report card” on the humanities, a helpful guide of digital humanities projects for early digital humanists, historian Jill Lepore on the limitation on the 21st-century culture of letters, and much more (including the difficulties of producing an educational app and a neat 'Colorizing History' project which adds colors to historical photos !
***********************************************************************
I'm obsessing over the Colorized History project from above which is cool enough to be its own link! This site features historical photos with color added. They look so real! Nice job.
Here are some of the images from the site (They are not mine!):
 |
| Barvarian grandfather and Prussian grandson displaying the old and new uniforms of the German army, 1st February 1913 |

For those students of Latin:
'The Pompeiiana Newsletter was created and edited by Bernard Barcio and ran from 1974 through 2003. Pompeiiana offered a place for Latin students to publish comics, stories, games, and articles, and was a beloved resource for Latin teachers. In 2008, Barcio granted Bolchazy-Carducci Publishers the rights for all of Pompeiiana. This blog will make all 229 issues freely available to Latin teachers, students, and others interested in Classics, one issue per day.'
