The Civil War Era & Digital Humanities Interview Series: Ep. 1
Hello H-CivWar Subsribers:
We are happy to introduce a new video interview series on Civil War era themed digital humanities projects and the people behind them. In our inaugural episode, we chat with Jen Andrella, a Ph.D. candidate in history at Michigan State University, about her digital project Mapping the Upper Missouri, which traces the upper Missouri's rich history from 1801 to 1853 and reconceptualizes the cultural, political, and economic construction of the American West.
Re: Digital History and Earl Hess's Article
I am currently constructing a day-by-day regimental journal of the Seventeenth Michigan Infantry. I am taking thirty years of my personal research and finally consolidating it in a series of seven books covering May 1862 to August 1865. An eighth book covers the post-war history of reunions and veterans' activities. I have also built a database containing the names of all thirteen hundred men who enlisted in the regiment during the course of the war.
Digital History and Earl Hess's Article
Almost all of the responses to Earl Hess’s article “The Internet and Civil War Studies,” both on Twitter and on H-CivilWar, have so far focused on the author’s fifth of six categories in which Hess discusses his survey respondents’ negative opinions of social media and blogs.

First, thank you to Matt for starting this conversation on the listserv. I agree with him that there are some interesting and compelling segments in Hess' essay, particularly his discussion of archives and digital reproduction. This is because the survey method is clear in this section, and Hess quotes archivists extensively.
