Serving on the ADHO Board & in various related roles has been one of the most rewarding parts of my professional life: a small enough community that I've come to know some amazing colleagues really well, but also international in scope and large in ambition & heart. Please consider volunteering!

Ryan posted this over a month ago so I'm a bit late to the party... but hardly a day has gone by since that I haven't listened to one or all three songs: I love them so much! I second the recommendation of "Babbage" for DH folks. Best DH song since that TEI video of Subterranean Homesick Blues.

This is super important. In several instances at #DH2025, I've heard colleagues say that newer releases of ChatGPT have gained domain expertise in their subfield—probably because OpenAI scraped and absorbed open data refined and curated by specialists from GitHub and HuggingFace. No credits given.

The tech has always been most successful as a means to an end, that should ideally become background. But DH also challenges the STEM/non-STEM dichotomy. I always go to the analogy of astronomy -- squeezing as much as possible from weak, distorted signals from the distant past.

Loving this work from old friends (and new) at @stanfordlitlab.bsky.social: distant-reading highly formulaic college course descriptions to explore how, when, and where “AI” (and “LLM," etc.) concepts appear. What's the semantic field like? Is AI a tool, object of critique, societal phenom? #DH2025

Sayan Bhattacharyya asks: Can we teach DH as *humanities* — and not as some sort of "shadow STEM”? Proposes a new humanities-first meaning for HAC (in the old yack vs. hack supposed dichotomy): Historicization, Analogization, Contextualization. I love this as a new DH pedagogy! #DH2025

Reflecting on various talks at #DH2025 I'm struck by the number of projects here and elsewhere at the intersection of oral histories and community archives that don't realise they could draw on those fields and digital public history for ethics, workflows and other practices

Renana Keydar and Yael Netzer take deeply admirable care with a (the?) most difficult topic of our times: an "archives of the present" of Oct.7 events. Start with a trigger warning, and acknowledge (and never minimize) the current atrocities in Gaza. 💔 #DH2025

Great #DH2025 talk by @luanamcosta.bsky.social on using CLIP to analyse images of the 'New Woman'. Loved the idea of networks of queries and querying the intersection of 'women working' and 'women in a public space'. Thus far CLIP was good for insights and exploration rather than definitive analysis
