I am a Project Archivist at Emory University’s Manuscript, Archives, and Rare Book Library (MARBL). I spend my day arranging and describing the papers of Robert W. Woodruff, Atlanta’s most successful businessman and most generous philanthropist. I spend my nights and weekends collaborating with a colleague on “An Invisible History: A Digital Research Project to Document Segregation and Civil Rights in Atlanta.” In an effort to bring together qualitative and quantitative data about Atlanta, “An Invisible History” extracts data from rare and unique materials from MARBL and then compiles it within a geographic information system (GIS). It represents an effort to move beyond the concept of a “digital collection,” digitally reformatted surrogates of non-digital items, to a Digital Humanities research project. I also practice Moo Duk Kwan Tae Kwon Do.
