In semester Spring 2024, Elon Lang worked with an undergraduate Bridging Disciplines Museum Studies student—Miranda Hynes–to begin building an online home for the Center for Teaching and Learning’s 50th-Anniversary exhibit and archive. Last semester Lang worked with a team of three other BDP students to scan the majority of the Center’s collection of artifacts from its own history and to research and assemble a set of physical exhibits to be displayed in the PCL. Miranda received guidance and support from MiriYam Judd via the Initiative for Digital Humanities in order to set up an Omeka site to house the project on behalf of the CTL and to begin to organize it by completing and then importing a database her predecessors used when designing the physical exhibits. While the work on the Omeka site is not yet completed, we will be laying the groundwork for a maintenance and preservation plan so that the CTL can keep adding to the site and the physical archive it represents long into the future.
