Paper Submission

I have submitted a paper to the International Journal of Digital Culture and Electronic Tourism (IJDCET) for their special issue on digital culture and archives. The paper is recounting my experience at the Stockholm Riksarkivet in January 2007. With little time and not much money I was unable to put in six months or a year of continuous archival research. But by
using a digital camera, digital imaging software and an external hard drive I was able to digitalize some 25,000 pages.

Those pages may be a lifetime worth of research but it means I will be able to do it at my convenience without having to ship giant binders of blurry photocopies across continents.
It really is an innovative way of conducting research. Few researchers at the archives brought a digital camera or even a laptop. None were from the US. So I think a paper on my experience, with a proper academic context from previously published journal articles, will be a good addition to the scholarship on the topic.
