Digital Humanities at NJIT (DH@NJIT) invites proposals for the annual DH Showcase. The Showcase brings together researchers,
scholars, librarians, and technologists in the humanities from around the region to present current projects and research work, while investigating broader ideas in the digital humanities as a growing field of intellectual inquiry.
The Showcase is interested in proposals for short papers and digital posters/demonstrations. Potential topics include, but
are not limited to: – Big Data in digital humanities – Digital approaches to textual studies – Public digital humanities – Creative coding and electronic literature – Spatial analysis, mapping – Digital art/architectural history – Sound – Digital accessibility
– Digital humanities pedagogy – Preserving and sustaining digital humanities projects – Digital gaming, critical play, game design, and gaming culture – Studies on the uses and behaviors of social media sites users – Community-based online media practices
– Digital humanities project design/management – Institutional DH partnerships and project-based collaborations
We hope the Showcase will stimulate interdisciplinary dialogue and cross traditional professional barriers. We are particularly
interested in international and underserved populations’ perspectives on digital humanities and computer science.

The New York Academy of Medicine Library is very pleased to announce the launch of the Dr. Robert Matz Hospital Postcard Collection,
a pilot digitization project that provides access to 118 hospital postcards from the five boroughs of New York City. Spearheaded by Dr. Robin Naughton, Senior Digital Program Manager, the collection offers a window into the history of hospitals in the New
York area as well as some of the visitors to those hospitals. Many of the postcards have messages and postmarks, allowing the viewer to ascertain the time period when the cards were created. The Matz Collection can be viewed here:
