“The project forefronts visual, nonlinear, and interactive argumentation in order to engage publics in generative humanistic inquiry.”

The digital public humanities: giving new arguments and new ways to argue

Photogrammar uses visual by implementing graphs to show the statistical data of the over 170,000 photographs that they have from 1935-1943.

Photogrammar utilizes interactive argumentation by enabling users to explore historical photographs within their broader social and geographical contexts. Through interactive maps, timelines, and search functionalities, users can analyze and interpret visual data to formulate arguments about various aspects of American life during the Great Depression and World War II.

This does meet digital humanities through collaboration, engaging the community, and access to archived information.
