The American Yawp

“The American Yawp is a free, online, collaboratively built American history textbook. Over 300 historians joined together to create the book they wanted for their own students—an accessible, synthetic narrative that reflects the best of recent historical scholarship and provides a jumping-off point for discussions in the U.S. history classroom and beyond.”

This publication gives an overview and provides information about the content of the project. The overview entails a short summary of the project, author & editor information, and reviews of the project.

DALME: The Documentary Archaeology of Late Medieval Europe

"DALME is a collaborative, cross-disciplinary project that seeks to increase our understanding of Europe’s material horizons during the later Middle Ages, an era when changing patterns of production and consumption altered the material world and transformed the relationship between people and things.
DALME has developed a novel methodology that focuses on the extraction of information about material culture from documentary sources, such as household or estate inventories, in a manner that makes it possible to seamlessly integrate textual objects with their tangible counterparts from archaeological excavations and museum collections.
Drawing upon cross-disciplinary practice and advances in digital scholarship, the project aims to make vast amounts of material culture accessible online as open, well-structured and machine-actionable datasets readily amenable to computational analysis, together with the necessary tools, standards, and documentation to enable new research and facilitate dissemination.
Based in the Department of History at Harvard University, DALME brings together a growing network of researchers from institutions across the US and Europe."

This publication includes an abstract, which is quoted above, along with the names of the project contributors and 7 different narrative sections about the project. These sections include, but are not limited to, project trajectory, project-specific digital objects and platforms, and project outcomes.

Smail, Pizzorno, and Morreale are all authors of the publication and principle investigators of the project.
