Brighter Social Media Skies: Bluesky For Library-Worker (and DH!) Online Community

2025年12月14日 13:00

Social media can help you build professional and social community, find jobs, learn from others, share your work, ask questions, and hear about new ideas and projects. After the implosion of multiple other social platforms, the Bluesky platform has become one of the best options to keep accessing those benefits. This video captures a live webinar from May I gave for the Metropolitan New York Library Council, aiming to help library and archives workers considering trying out Bluesky, or who’ve dipped a toe in but not felt comfortable using it yet.

All the resources mentioned in this talk are listed at tinyurl.com/intro-bluesky. Most useful is my Bluesky for Academics guide at tinyurl.com/DHBluesky, which remains regularly updated and contains both very-quick cheatsheet and incredibly detailed versions of how to get started understanding Bluesky use for DHers, GLAM folks, and other knowledge work folks. At the end of that guide is a sortable list of “starter packs”, feeds, and lists gathering folks to follow on Bluesky around topics like DH, critical tech, expansive making & crafting, queer studies, social justice work, and more.

Multilingual digital book arts (& an example accepted conference proposal!)

2025年12月3日 13:00

I’ve a talk accepted to the 2026 Global DH conference, and share that proposal here both for its content and as another example of what a conference abstract can look like. I’ve added comments (in ‘'’code formatting’’’) highlighting how the abstract proposal is structured.

“Not having to ask: critical humanities making, zines, & analog tech for multilingual DH”

In “Having to Ask”, a doctoral colleague [2024-2025 Praxis Fellow Amna Irfan Tarar] writes about othering experiences in DH spaces, such as when staff weren’t sure if a web font used by a team project could correctly render her name in Urdu. I’m developing digital and analog letterpress resources as part of our DH center’s critical humanities makerspace studies. Letterpress moveable type is a pre-digital corollary to multilingual web fonts, and Tarar’s essay reinforced my priority of anyone printing with us being able to print their name—without singling out that name as needing special effort or research.

Motivation / underlying research question.

This lightning talk covers the DH work I’ve started toward this goal, and will be of interest to scholars curious about: zine creation for teaching, critical humanities making, multilingual DH, accessibility, book arts, and connections between historical/retro tech and current DH methods. I’ll share my first set of moveable non-English type, my forthcoming zine on how to inexpensively create similar type, and an overview of my research into historical and current strategies for fabricating non-Latin type (some of which cannot be segmented into easily interoperable rectangles the way Latin type can). I know there are too many languages for us to complete this goal; while slowly moving toward that vision language by language, I’m also developing some quick hacks to at least slightly improve type accessibility in the mean time, as well as working to replicate how such scripts were historically printed.

Specifics on what the talk will cover. Which scholars might want to attend it and why, including showing how that's not limited to e.g. "people who do letterpress" or "makerspace people". Quick note that I understand the most immediate likely challenges to this work.

I’ve wanted to contribute to a more multilingual DH, despite my monolingual ability restricting what I can do. My hope is to develop enough type design and fabrication competency to partner with colleagues who have greater language competency than me, and I’m eager to hear advice from session attendees toward this goal.

Where is this in-progress research headed, and how might that benefit others? What kind of Q&A might this talk elicit from its audience?

How to get and/or print you some zines, for free

2025年9月12日 12:00

Direct link to some good culture, tech, and/or social justice zines you can print for free

Printing zines to read yourself

I use “free zine” to mean zines you don’t need to pay to access in some way—read online, print copies of to read on paper, and/or get a pre-printed copy of from someone else. Unfortunately, printing is not always free or affordable.

I’m not sure how many libraries offer any free printing these days, but a good library worker will want to help you access info and reading if they can. If you aren’t able to afford printing a zine on your own and your library posts writing saying it charges for printing, you might still ask your local library workers if they know of options, and let them know you’re trying to access zines for reading or learning purposes.

I am not aware of such options at UVA—where I currently work—but I would not necessarily know of any! If you’re near UVA Library—which serves anyone in the region, not just folks studying/working at UVA—consider asking folks at a front desk of one of the libraries, or using the UVA Library homepage’s “Ask a Librarian” chat for questions about community printing (or other topics, especially anything you may feel more comfortable asking online than in person).

Here’s the subset of all my Zine Bakery project’s catalogued zines allowing online or printable free access; and here’s the subset of all catalogued zines you can print for free. The difference between the two sets is a small number of zines are free to read online but cannot be downloaded; for example, some are on platforms like Issuu, where there’s some page-turning reading view but download is disabled by the creator.

Live in (or visiting) Charlottesville? Pt 1

Check out The Beautiful Idea! “A trans-owned antifascist bookstore, queer makers’ market, alternative event space, and radical community hub on the Downtown Mall in Charlottesville, VA… Come in today to find your new favorite read, the perfect gift, or just a safe, friendly place to relax!”.

In addition to selling zines (I bought so many zines there first time I went…), they often have free zines as well. And also frequent free community events prioritizing queer folks, community building, community safety and resistance (check their Instagram too).

Live in (or visiting) Charlottesville? Pt 2

I run a small, free public zine distro in my workplace (the Scholars’ Lab in the University of Virginia’s Shannon Library): Zine Bakery @ Scholars’ Lab. Anyone (no UVA affiliation needed) is welcome to take as many zines as they’d like, including multiple copies of the same zine to share with friends, students, etc. These are mostly zines that are free for anyone to print and share, plus some additional zines where the creators have generously allowed us to share copies we print for free from our one location (but you’d otherwise need to pay to access the zine).

We have nothing near to the entire ZB catalog available on our distro racks—these zines are all printed, folded, stapled, and shelved by me during meetings and in random bits of free time (i.e. isn’t my core job), so it’s always a small, rotating selection and can get scant when I’m on vacation, sick, or especially busy.

To make sure I maintain the ability to do this project with as much justice and care as I can manage, that distro is a subset of a larger project (“Zine Bakery @ Scholars’ Lab”, rather than Zine Bakery). That means that the kinds of neutral (is this zine likely of use to folks who tend to visit the library or work with Scholars’ Lab?) and negative (will including this zine in the public distro attract censorship, require closing the distro, imperil lab/library/job?) decisions I make curating that distro don’t impact what I do with the larger project. But do know there are some zines in my catalog the Scholars’ Lab distro does not offer copies of.

(We’re not able to print zines for folks by request, unfortunately.)

Free zines vs paying for zines

Art is work, and workers deserve to benefit from their labor. (Everyone deserves a thriving wage regardless of if they “work”, but that’s a tangent I’ll save for elsewhere, other than to ask you if you had a kneejerk response to that, to sit with the large number of jobs that are actively harmful and disrespectful to workers for no reason—e.g. so many retail jobs—and think about what makes forcing people to work in such situations the qualification for deserving and getting a good life.)

I’ve prioritized cataloguing free zines for a number of reasons, including to be able to make them a visible, free part of my library work that anyone can take away to keep. I haven’t yet been able to find or successfully propose a pool of funding to use how I want: toward working with authors of non-free zines around a paid license to distribute physical zines from just our location. If anyone knows of models for that, please do let me know!

Wanting to pay authors/creators, and also wanting to help anyone access information and reading without needing to pay or prove they’re a member of a university, are both important to me. The Zine Bakery distro at Scholars’ Lab is the way I’ve found to balance those goals, using my ability to print some zines as an employe, as well as putting work time and work space toward supporting a distro.

I include direct links to where authors host their zines, rather than rehost them myself—both as an ethical and legal requirement, but also because collecting has historically been (and still is) often extractive work. I want to amplify zines and point people to their authors and websites. I’m hoping to pull out these sites into one webpage in the future that just links to zine authors’ webpages and stores, to amplify those further. I’m hoping to work on more design approaches like that; e.g. a small one is I recently added a bit of code to the top paragraph on my homepage that rotates through names of specific catalogued authors, to try to make it more obvious these zines are not mine.

Interesting digital humanities data sources

2025年8月26日 12:00

I bookmark sources of data that seem interesting for digital humanities teaching and research:

  • showing humanists what data & datafication in their fields can look like
  • having interesting examples when teaching data-using tools
  • trying out new data tools

I’m focusing on sharing bookmarks with data that’s already in spreadsheet or similar structured format, rather than e.g.

  • collections of digitized paper media also counting as data and worth exploring, like Josh Begley’s racebox.org, which links to full PDFs of US Census surveys re:race and ethnicity over the years; or
  • 3D data, like my colleague Will Rourk’s on historic architecture and artifacts, including a local Rosenwald School and at-risk former dwellings of enslaved people

Don’t forget to cite datasets you use (e.g. build on, are influenced by, etc.)!

And if you’re looking for community, the Journal of Open Humanities Data is celebrating its 10th anniversary with a free, global virtual event on 9/26 including “lightning talks, thematic dialogues, and community discussions on the future of open humanities data”.

Data is being destroyed

U.S. fascists have destroyed or put barriers around a significant amount of public data in just the last 8 months. Check out Laura Guertin’s “Data, Interrupted” quilt blog post, then the free DIY Web Archiving zine by me, Quinn Dombrowski, Tessa Walsh, Anna Kijas, and Ilya Kreymer for a novice-friendly guide to helping preserve the pieces of the Web you care about (and why you should do it rather than assuming someone else will). The Data Rescue project is a collaborative project meant “to serve as a clearinghouse for data rescue-related efforts and data access points for public US governmental data that are currently at risk. We want to know what is happening in the community so that we can coordinate focus. Efforts include: data gathering, data curation and cleaning, data cataloging, and providing sustained access and distribution of data assets.”

Interesting datasets

The Database of African American and Predominantly White American Literature Anthologies

By Amy Earhart

“Created to test how we categorize identities represented in generalist literature anthologies in a database and to analyze the canon of both areas of literary study. The dataset creation informs the monograph Digital Literary Redlining: African American Anthologies, Digital Humanities, and the Canon (Earhart 2025). It is a highly curated small data project that includes 267 individual anthology volumes, 107 editions, 319 editors, 2,844 unique individual authors, and 22,392 individual entries, and allows the user to track the shifting inclusion and exclusion of authors over more than a hundred-year period. Focusing on author inclusion, the data includes gender and race designations of authors and editors.”

National UFO Reporting Center: “Tier 1” sighting reports

Via Ronda Grizzle, who uses this dataset when teaching Scholars’ Lab graduate Praxis Fellows how to shape research questions matching available data, and how to understand datasets as subjective and choice-based. I know UFOs sounds like a funny topic, and it can be, but there are also lots of interesting inroads like the language people use reflecting hopes, fears, imagination, otherness, certainty. A good teaching dataset given there aren’t overly many fields per report, and those include mappable, timeline-able, narrative text, and a very subjective interesting one (a taxonomy of UFO shapes). nuforc.org/subndx/?id=highlights

The Pudding

Well researched, contextualized, beautifully designed data storytelling on fun or meaningful questions, with an emphasis on cultural data and how to tell stories with data (including personally motivated ones, something that I think is both inspiring for students and great to have examples of how to do critically). pudding.cool

…and its Ham4Corpus use

Shirley Wu for The Pudding’s interactive visualization of every line in Hamilton uses my ham4corpus dataset (and data from other sources), which might be a useful example of how an afternoon’s work with open-access data (Wikipedia, lyrics) and some simple scripted data cleaning and formatting can produce foundations for research and visualization.

Responsible Datasets in Context

Dirs. Sylvia Fernandez, Miriam Posner, Anna Preus, Amardeep Singh, & Melanie Walsh

“Understanding the social and historical context of data is essential for all responsible data work. We host datasets that are paired with rich documentation, data essays, and teaching resources, all of which draw on context and humanities perspectives and methods. We provide models for responsible data curation, documentation, story-telling, and analysis.” 4 rich dataset options (as of August 2025) each including a data essay, ability to explore the data on the site, programming and discussion exercises for investigating and understanding the data. Datasets: US National park visit data, gender violence at the border, early 20th-century ~1k poems from African American periodicals, top 500 “greatest” novels according to OCLC records on novels most held by libraries. responsible-datasets-in-context.com

Post45 Data Collective

Eds Melanie Walsh, Alexander Manshel, J.D. Porter

“A peer-reviewed, open-access repository for literary and cultural data from 1945 to the present”, offering 11 datasets (as of August 2025) useful in investigations such as how book popularity & literary canons get manufactured. Includes datasets on “The Canon of Asian American Literature”, “International Bestsellers”, “Time Horizons of Futuristic Fiction”, and “The Index of Major Literary Prizes in the US”. The project ‘provides an open-access home for humanities data, peer reviews data so scholars can gain institutional recognition, and DOIs so this work can be cited’: data.post45.org/our-data.html

Data assignment in The Critical Fan Toolkit

By Cara Marta Messina

Messina’s project (which prioritizes ethical critical studies of fan works and fandom) includes this model teaching assignment on gathering and analyzing fandom data, and understanding the politics of what is represented by this data. Includes links to 2 data sources, as well as Destination Toast’s “How do I find/gather data about the ships in my fandom on AO3?”.

(Re:fan studies, note that there is/was an Archive of Our Own dataset—but it was created in a manner seen as invasive and unethical by AO3 writers and readers. Good to read about and discuss with students, but I do not recommend using it as a data source for those reasons.)

Fashion Calendar data

By Fashion Institute of Technology

Fashion Calendar was “an independent, weekly periodical that served as the official scheduling clearinghouse for the American fashion industry” 1941 to 2014; 1972-2008’s Fashion International and 1947-1951’s Home Furnishings are also included in the dataset. Allows manipulation on the site (including graping and mapping) as well as download as JSON. fashioncalendar.fitnyc.edu/page/data

Black Studies Dataverse

With datasets by Kenton Ramsby et al.

Found via Kaylen Dwyer. “The Black Studies Dataverse contains various quantitative and qualitative datasets related to the study of African American life and history that can be used in Digital Humanities research and teaching. Black studies is a systematic way of studying black people in the world – such as their history, culture, sociology, and religion. Users can access the information to perform analyses of various subjects ranging from literature, black migration patterns, and rap music. In addition, these .csv datasets can also be transformed into interactive infographics that tell stories about various topics in Black Studies. “ dataverse.tdl.org/dataverse/uta-blackstudies

Via Alex Selby-Boothroyd: Gsheet by Chris Dalla Riva with 100+ data fields for every US Billboard Hot 100 Number One song since August 4th, 1958.

Internet Broadway Database

Found via Heather Froehlich: “provides data, publishes charts and structured tables of weekly attendance and ticket revenue, additionally available for individual shows”. ibdb.com

Structured Wikipedia Dataset

Wikimedia released this dataset sourced from their “Snapshot API which delivers bulk database dumps, aka snapshots, of Wikimedia projects—in this case, Wikipedia in English and French languages”. “Contains all articles of the English and French language editions of Wikipedia, pre-parsed and outputted as structured JSON files using a consistent schema compressed as zip” huggingface.co/datasets/wikimedia/structured-wikipedia. Do note there has been controversy in the past around Hugging Face scraping material for AI/dataset use without author permission, and differing understandings of how work published in various ways on the web is owned. (I might have a less passive description of this if I went and reminded myself what happened, but I’m not going to do that right now.)

CORGIS: The Collection of Really Great, Interesting, Situated Datasets project

By Austin Cory Bart, Dennis Kafura, Clifford A. Shaffer, Javier Tibau, Luke Gusukuma, Eli Tilevich

Visualizer and exportable datasets of a lot of interesting datasets on all kinds of topics.

FiveThirtyEight’s data

I’m not a fan for various reasons, but their data underlying various political, sports, and other stats-related articles might still be useful: [data.fivethirtyeight.com(https://data.fivethirtyeight.com/) Or look at how and what they collect, include in their data and what subjective choices and biases those reveal :)

Zine Bakery zines

I maintain a database of info on hundreds of zines related to social justice, culture, and/or tech topics for my ZineBakery.com project—with over 60 metadata fields (slightly fewer for the public view) capturing descriptive and evaluative details about each zine. Use the … icon then “export as CSV” to use the dataset (I haven’t tried this yet, so let me know if you encounter issues).

OpenAlex

I don’t know much about this yet, but it looked cool and is from a non-profit that builds tools to help with the journal racket (Unsub for understanding “big deals” values and alternatvies, Unpaywall for OA article finding). “We index over 250M scholarly works from 250k sources, with extra coverage of humanities, non-English languages, and the Global South. We link these works to 90M disambiguated authors and 100k institutions, as well as enriching them with topic information, SDGs, citation counts, and much more. Export all your search results for free. For more flexibility use our API or even download the whole dataset. It’s all CC0-licensed so you can share and reuse it as you like!” openalex.org

Bonus data tools, tutorials

Matt Lincoln’s salty: “When teaching students how to clean data, it helps to have data that isn’t too clean already. salty offers functions for “salting” clean data with problems often found in datasets in the wild, such as pseudo-OCR errors, inconsistent capitalization and spelling, invalid dates, unpredictable punctuation in numeric fields, missing values or empty strings”.

The Pudding’s resources for learning & doing data journalism and research

See also The Critical Fan Toolkit by Cara Marta Messina (discussed in datasets section above), which offers both tools and links to interesting datasets.

Letterpress data, not publicly available yet…

I maintain a database of the letterpress type, graphic blocks/cuts, presses, supplies, and books related to book arts owned by me or by Scholars’ Lab. I have a very-in-progress website version I’m slowly building, without easily downloadable data, just a table view of some of the fields.

I also have a slice of this viewable online and not as downloadable data: just a gallery of the queerer letterpress graphic blocks I’ve collected or created. But I could get more online if anyone was interested in teaching or otherwise working with it?

I also am nearly done developing a database of the former VA Center for the Book: Book Arts Program’s enormous collection of type, which includes top-down photos of each case of type. I’m hoping to add more photos of example prints that use each type, too. If this is of interest to your teaching or research, let me know, as external interest might motivate me to get to the point of publishing sooner.

Welcome to new DHC Faculty Director Lisa Blackmore

2025年8月20日 12:00

We’re delighted to announce UVA Library’s Digital Humanities Center (an umbrella under which Scholars’ Lab sits) has a new Faculty Director joining our team this week: Lisa Blackmore!

After an international, competitive search, Dr. Blackmore joined UVA’s College and Graduate School of Arts & Sciences as Professor of Spanish, and is a new member of the Environmental Humanities cohort as well.

Scholars’ Lab staff are especially excited about Blackmore’s leadership, curation, and collaboration given her commitment to social justice and care as core aspects of effective scholarship; experience facilitating collaborative and generative community events; and deep expertise bridging public humanities, environmental sciences, data, art, and history in her impactful work. Since 2018, Blackmore has been the founder/director of entre—ríos (Between Rivers), an international digital platform focusing on bodies of water in Latin America. Her research is in the field of environmental humanities, with a focus on cultural histories of human-river relations, ecocritical analysis of art and literature, and creative collaborations between art, science, and communities.

Blackmore joins the directors of Scholars’ Lab and IATH partnering on the Library’s digital humanities initiatives, and will lead new and help sustain existing strategic initiatives leveraging this partnership. You can read more about her work and plans in UVA Library’s announcement.

Queer letterpress collecting & making

2025年8月16日 12:00

I’m interested in queer (and particularly trans) history and technologies. This overlaps with my book history research and book arts practice not just in the research papers, zines, and prints I create, but in the accessibility and representation of the printing materials I find or make, and the events and spaces I’m involved in as well.

I’m working to slowly collect historical LGBTQIA+ letterpress cuts (graphic printing blocks with illustrations and sometimes text)—and since these are scarce (for reasons of safety, permanence, and intended audience), trying to think about what cuts work as part of a queer letterpress collection today—what cuts I can queer.

I’m also designing and lasercutting my own new queer catchwords and cuts. And I hope to eventually combine these to scan some historical cuts, alter them in queer ways :D, and lasercut new queerer blocks.

Here’s a quick view of some of my historical & DIY collection (easier viewing as a full webpage here):

Zine Bakery: Digital Humanities 2025 Conference Poster

2025年7月16日 12:00

I’ve got a conference poster at DH 2025 this week, and since I needed to attend remotely and things being what they are, I went all out on making the design Very Extra and much in the spirit of this site’s design :) Enjoy! (A full PDF version, in case you want to zoom in more than the image version below allows.)

Screenshot of Amanda Wyatt Visconti (that's me) poster for the Digital Humanities 2025 conference in Portugal happening later this week. The poster has a lot of color going on: a border of zine covers, at least 7 rainbows not counting the rainbow-leopard-print border around the Zine Bakery zine-toaster-rainbow logo, lime green text on bright purple, magenta arrows, etc. The poster's intro text says "Zine Bakery / Author: Dr. Amanda Wyatt Visconti / Project Website: ZineBakery.com / Exploring zines for DH research, methods training, & scholarly communication. You might be picturing zines as their 20th-century origins: collaged, xeroxed, free paper booklets on subcultures, social justice, marginalized experiences; or their earliest precursors, like the "little magazines" of the Harlem Renaissance. But today, creators make
"zines" varying widely in format, from 100+ page tiny books to digital-only creative websites. Content varies widely: comics, tutorials, scholarly or personal essays, collage, creative writing, news, & more. However they look, most zines stay true to the form's original vision of radically low barrier authoring, publication, dissemintation, & reading. Zines are a welcoming, inexpensive, and effective format for do-it-yourself scholarly communication, friendly teaching of digital research methods, and public humanities outreach - as well as an opportunity for data analysis and other DH explorations. The Zine Bakery (ZineBakery.com) is a digital humanities project collecting, amplifying, researching, & authoring zines, with an emphasis on free, resharable zines & zines about culture, tech, & justice." The poster goes on to share some stats about the zines in the catalog, list the different parts of the research, and give an overview of how zines are useful for urgent advocacy.

Multiple invited talks & teaching

2025年5月20日 12:00

Amanda Visconti taught two workshops at and attended the Mellon-funded “Building BookLabs” Symposium on humanities makerspaces and teaching/research book arts printshops; gave an invited talk on Bluesky social media for librarians for the Metropolitan NY LIbrary Council; and gave an invited talk on their Zine Bakery research for the Cal Poly Humboldt Libraries Innovation Summit.

On the edge: printing zine margins

2025年5月2日 12:00

Q. Do you know of zine templates that let you import your zine content and then print it properly?

A. I’ve run into this a lot, partly bc some printers have various hidden amounts of white space they’ll require to allow for where they grip the paper, even if you set printer settings to zero margins. Very frustrating, especially for printing minizines, where this can through off what’s visible per page when you fold the pages.

A few printers have true borderless printing, but I haven’t happened to run into one at home/work yet. Sometimes I use a paper cutter or scissors to remove that unprinted edge after printing, to make the zine look printed all the way to the edge when it doesn’t have a white background.

Researching what those secret extra whitespace settings are for my particular printer brand and model has helped, as well as printing a test template with text running off all the zine page edges. This lets me then measure on the printout what of the text gets cut off, then design so my text/images don’t go there. In Canva, I’ve drawn those measured cutoff points as colored boxes, then duplicate that page to fill it with zine content and remove the boxes once I’m ready to print, like so:

Screenshot of a Canva page where I've marked with green, yellow, and red rectangles where the various margins are on a page (margin, bleed, actual printer cutoff where it won't print beyond) if I mke a zine on it and print it with my particular printer.

Canva (free plan) lets you set margin and bleed guides (file > settings) that helps with designing for printing correctly. While these don’t override that secret won’t-print-there grip area of paper many printers have, ustom print margin settings can sometimes help too:

Screenshot of where to go in Adobe Acrobat to set custom printing margin settings: "page setup" button, then "paper size" to "Manage custom sizes..."

Screenshot of where to go in Adobe Acrobat to set custom printing margin settings: + icon, then set "Margins" as "User Defined" and enter 0 in. under the fields for each of the 4 sides of the paper

I’ve tried various zine arranger (plus additional cool features!) tools, such as:

These all do useful things, but ultimately can’t address different printers adding that secret extra space—so the hacks above have worked best for me.

From text originally posted by me via the Scholars’ Lab Bluesky account in response to a question there.

Global Digital Humanities Conference: Zine Bakery: borderless DH research, methods training, and scholarly communication via zines
