So I was hired by a history department and am teaching myself how to teach archival research methods for Urban Studies (I should be writing a grant proposals but: quality education...) Anyhow I think I found my archive of choice for the course: https://t.co/uvKMcYEyxV
At a #softwarecarpentry workshop to better address the following problem we all encounter in doing research/writing (esp. collaboratively - which I decided I love): https://t.co/S7JMXe0TX4
