Houghton’s website Picturing Prayer (see this previous post) was among those featured at Harvard College Library’s recent Digital Humanities Fair, an event designed to familiarize Harvard faculty and researchers with a few of the many online resources at their disposal.
The Picturing Prayer website attracted considerable interest and suggestions were made about how to improve it and adapt it for other kinds of special collections material. William Stoneman and Joshua O’Driscoll, the site’s creators, learned about techniques that dramatize still images using video camera movement and audio. More “drama” is sure to follow.
