Are you an environmental historian who uses Tropy? How does Tropy help you organize/analyze your sources? I will be presenting Tropy to a group of environmental historians next month and I'd be interested in hearing about your particular experience! PM me or reply, I look forward to hearing from you!

#histodons is there anyone out there using #tropy and #omeka at the same time?
If so, the Tropy team would like to hear your experience.
Oh by the way...did you know Tropy has a plugin that makes it very easy to export your Tropy project items to Omeka S?

(If you’re working on public history projects and planning online exhibits it might be handy for you.)
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!
@natalie @dvmcrae @alucchesi Stating the obvious but--if you make each letter its own item, you can put date and author and other metadata by item and treat it as a corpus.
I'm doing this with a huge 1000+ document probate file and it really helps to understand the correspondence flows.
@dvmcrae For the past hour, since @whanley sent this link, I've been sitting here with my mouth open as I explore the possibilities of Tropy. This looks great and so promising. Just looking at how the whole thing might work together with Omeka S. It just looks fantastic. Excited to learn more. Thank you!
@whanley @natalie @dh I would second second that #Tropy is a good tool for this. You can add metadata and tags to selections within documents.
One tip: Make sure that when you import the manuscript into Tropy in PDF form that you set the default density so that the document is legible--at least 144 ppi. To change this setting, go to Tropy>Preferences and select Settings.
Feel free to reach out here or on our support forums if you have questions cc: @alucchesi
