Just Because We Can Doesn’T Mean We Should: On Knowing And Protecting Data Produced By The Jewish Consumptives’ Relief Society, Jack M. Maness, Kim Pham

University Libraries: Faculty Scholarship

A recent project at the University of Denver Libraries used handwritten text recognition (HTR) software to create transcriptions of records from the Jewish Consumptives’ Relief Society (JCRS), a tuberculosis sanatorium located in Denver, Colorado from 1904 to 1954. Among a great many other potential uses, these type- and hand-written records give insight into the human experience of disease and epidemic, its treatment, its effect on cultures, and of Jewish immigration to and early life in the American West. Our intent is to provide these transcripts as data so the text may be computationally analyzed, pursuant to a larger effort in …

“If You Want The History Of A White Man, You Go To The Library”: Critiquing Our Legacy, Addressing Our Library Collections Gaps, Jennifer Bowers, Katherine Crowe, Peggy Keeran

University Libraries: Faculty Scholarship

In 1864, the same year the University of Denver was founded by John Evans, then the Territorial Governor of Colorado and the Superintendent of Indian Affairs, a group of U.S. militia attacked and killed vulnerable members of the Cheyenne and Arapaho nations at Sand Creek. Using Critical Race Theory and the feminist “ethic of care,” we critique our collections in terms of the Massacre and absent Native American voices, in order to develop a collecting philosophy and direction to acknowledge and address the gaps, and to formulate strategies for teaching students to interrogate a predominately white institutional archive to give …

White Gloves Sessions: Towson University Raises Awareness About Unique Collection, Nadia Nasr, Joyce Garczynski

Staff publications, research, and presentations

Imagine this: You’re two years into your first job as an archivist and just as you’re moving into your institution’s recently renovated facilities, you receive a gem of a collection: nearly three thousand volumes of rare Judaica books dating from the fifteenth through twentieth centuries. Only half the collection is cataloged and most of the material is printed in languages other than English, including Hebrew, German, Russian, Polish, French, Latin, and Yiddish. Much of it is in need of conservation work, but you don’t have an in-house lab and would need funding to outsource the work. You immediately recognize the …
