Doug Dechow – “I’m a digital humanist who works, under a grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities, with the Center for American War Letters (CAWL) at Chapman University. This archive contains personal, war-related correspondences from the American Revolution through to emails sent from Iraq and Afghanistan. I plan to talk about how we accept donated materials, digitize these materials, and use them to ask important questions. I’ll share some of what I hope will come out of this project in the context of what digital can do for the humanities.”
