I remember loving that this site existed, pointing students to it, and suggesting things (like the #MultilingualDH addition!) On the infrastructure side, there were clear, simple instructions on how to get started while I was still struggling to wrap my head around how Jekyll worked & liquid syntax.

Last week's assignment was to create a data set from your life, but Celine Heck took it a step further and embroidered it too! This is her caffeinated beverage intake for the week. Chinese was easier than Latin for embroidering the labels, a #MultilingualDH win on top of it all! #DHmakes

I had the pleasure to briefly discuss my work on utilising #Wikidata for sharing knowledge about cultural artefacts, exemplified by Arabic periodicals, at #MSUGlobalDH. Slides are available at http://tillgrallert.eu/slides/dh/2026-gdhs/.

I am absolutely losing it as I fill out the form to get this added to our library catalogue, and my closest options for topic from their controlled vocabulary are "American Literary Studies" and "British and Commonwealth Literary Studies". #MultilingualDH

Es freut mich sehr, dass mit diesem Band nun auch unser gemeinsamer Beitrag „Digitale Glokalisierung: Sogenannte Kleine Fächer, Digital Humanities und die Herausforderungen der Mehrsprachigkeit“ erschienen ist (der selbst ein kleiner Sammelband im Sammelband ist). Vielen Dank an die Herausgeber*innen, die Co-Autor*innen, und ganz besonders an @cosima_wagner, @jomla, @tillgrallert und @jakmende für die Koordination des Beitrags! #multilingualDH #DigitalHumanities #KleineFächer

An excellent thread if you're ready to break out of the monolingual world of English. You can also learn some great tricks we know in area studies, like how to get something out of a talk that's about something in a language you don't speak. Come join us! #MultilingualDH

@chpollin @internetarchive Cool! Amazing how well things seem to work despite the rather bad quality of the original print and despite the challenges of multi-column layouts. Which model did you use?
