Harry Hootman created a db of Faxon's print index of British & Am literary annuals for his dissertation, published it on a personal website, and created a boon of info. He passed away unfortunately and his website disappeared but I've got the data.

Building a spreadsheet of every pg in 83 vols of literary annuals w/ 300-400pp, 40 to 50 literary texts & 10 to 12 engravings. Stumbled on this engraving in 1833 Forget Me Not. Accompanying short story =ekphrastic rendering of engraving. Never seen a Black woman portrayed in this way in annuals 🤯

Taking a year-long sabbatical is HUGE. My 1st step was to upskill my project management leadership methods w/ the @modernlanguage.bsky.social and the #DigitalHumanities Summer Institute.

The plan is not the goal. The Goal is the Goal!

Sabbatical Update 1: The plan is not the goal. The goal is the goal
The pursuit of research &amp; scholarship is similar to research &amp; development of my corporate compatriots. But, a sabbatical provides unique moment of respite to create opportunities and follow weird throughlines. My first update about sabbatical highlights leadership and project management upskilling for a very specific purpose in the lifecycle of this loose baggy monster

Surprise fees! Always fun 🙄
My University buried a link to another web page in the travel docs that WE HAVE TO PAY FOR TRAVEL INSURANCE but there's NO opt out. It comes out of grant funds/prof development $ that are already razor thin

Hope $170 buys Risk Management an extra stapler 🤯😠

Who's in Germany in Dec? Looks like I'll be giving an update on this project at U of Cologne at their DH Colloquium.

Veering so hard into linked open data & data ethics along w/deep archival work on editors' ltrs & chasing down copies of 19c literary annuals. So grateful to v generous colleagues!

Holy shite! A wonderful cataloguer just introduced me to AN ENTIRE SPECIAL COLLECTIONS that I've never visit at the NYPL Schwarzman! In 5 yrs at the Grad Ctr & numerous return visits to NYPL....and they still use paper card catalog to find stuff 🤯🤯

Just blew up my timeline for the next 5 days!

Doing some deep research in the archives about colonial literary annuals in Bengal & found a review of my 2015 book by a librarian which starts out "Harris found her turf early on" which means that this will be a banger of a review in the BSA journal.

Some observations (1/+)
