I’m interested in this, too! I taught a grad course at NYU a couple years ago on “Creating Digital History” where I had students build digital archives with Omeka, and that involved their using online archives as well. Always interested in other possibilities, though.

In many respects, your twitter/class discussion proposal overlaps with my own concerns. The recent Annotation Studio posting might be a useful way to bridge our interests in a more concrete application, although I’d be happy to share some of my past projects using other tools. For instance, I had students annotate historical maps during a 19th c literature survey, which produced some interesting work.

This is definitely not my area of expertise, but I do see some overlap here with digital storytelling/alternative narratives. I’d love to create an assignment where students digitized the types of materials you’re describing and crafted a narrative; so I’d benefit quite a bit from hearing about your ideas. And I’m definitely interested in the application to close reading and literary studies, which involves a lot of my teaching.
