Digital Humanities: ECU Projects

This guide will help you learn about digital humanities research and how to utilize software tools for your research projects.

How to Start Your DH Project

Digital Archives at Linscheid Library

The Pesagi
The Pesagi is East Central University's yearbook, and it is available online with a five-year embargo period. While the Pesagi has been digitized for most years, be aware that no Pesagi was printed in 1918, from 1929-1945, or from 1952-1955. Please be patient when viewing these files online; they are all very large and can take several moments to load (Opens a new tab).
ECU Journal
The ECU Journal is East Central's weekly student produced newspaper. The Journal has been published since 1916, but not all years have been digitized yet. To see which years are currently available online, use the link below. Please be patient when viewing the Journal online; the files are all very large and can take several moments to load (Opens a new tab).

NASNTI HERITAGE Program

Darcy Tessman from the Department of Human Development, Hospitality, and Food Science has been using cookie cutters created and printed in the Digital Humanities Lab to bake ECU branded cookies.

John Dougherty's Typography class, in collaboration with Dana Jordan (NASNTI), designed letter print blocks on Fusion 360 and printed these blocks using the 3D printer.

April Nesbit's Molecular Biology class, in collaboration with Dana Jordan (NASNTI), created molecular cookie cutters using a 3D printer and Fusion 360. The class also made cookies with the cookie cutters they designed!

COVID-19 Data Visualization

ECU Mathematics students Jacob Mantooth and James Norman, under the direction of Dr. Nicholas Jacob, worked with COVID-19 data to develop visualizations looking at spread of the virus throughout the United States. They developed several visualizations comparing multivariate data in scatter plots and maps. Visualizations included data on COVID-19 cases, travel data, county size, states, and face mask requirements.
