Are you interested in learning more about #Tropy? The Tropy team has two dedicated outreach postdocs who frequently hold virtual and in-person demonstration sessions and workshops.

In the upcoming week we will lead sessions at Universidad Católica Andres Bello (Caracas, Venezuela--see attached image), Arquivo Público Estadual de São Paulo (Brazil) and the Univrsidade Federal de Sergipe (also Brazil).

Contact us if you'd like to set up a Tropy session at your institution!

#tropy users...did you first start using Tropy at the beginning of a new project, or did you first adopt it during a project in progress? What was your experience switching from your previous workflow to Tropy?

I'm trying to find out more about our users, but also want to keep the conversation rolling about how Tropy can help researchers with their projects.

Who writes about artificial #lakes and #reservoirs in the #Anthropocene ?

I am interested in the trajectory of the #RepresaBillings (Billings Reservoir) in #SãoPaulo as a product of the Anthropocene, and would like to write up an article drawing from my research into the megacity's modern #waterscape.

Related: I am always drawn back to this image that Paulo Whitaker captured in 2015, at the height of São Paulo's #watercrisis esp as it relates to Daniel Aldana Cohen's idea of #ecoapartheid

130 years ago this week, the Viaduto do Chá (the Tea Viaduct) opened in #saopaulo Connecting the historic core to the emerging "new" #city center, this iconic structure became a central place of circulation and social interaction.

The iron #viaduct was adapted to support trolleys as well as #pedestrians but the weight of automobiles eventually weakened the original viaduct. The original (pictured here in 1933) was torn down and replaced in 1938.

Hello #histodons 👋

Have you tried Tropy before? Tropy is a free, open-source tool designed to help researchers process and explore their photos from the archives. Try it out at tropy.org

I do education and outreach for Tropy at the Roy Rosenzweig Center for History and New Media. Please reach out if you are interested in learning more, or would like to request a Tropy training session for your colleagues or students!
