Loyalist Migrations

Loyalist Migrations Project

Subject(s)
Content type(s)
Country
Loyalist Migrations is a partnership between the United Empire Loyalist Association of Canada (UELAC), Huron University College’s Community History Centre, and Western Libraries’ Map and Data Centre. Our researchers use the genealogical records of the UELAC as well as other archival sources to reconstruct the migrations of thousands of exiles, refugees, economic migrants, settlers, and soldiers from all walks of life who fled the American Revolution. Not all migrants called themselves Loyalists and it is not the intention of this project to ascribe political motivations for their journeys. The migrations included a diverse array of settlers, Indigenous people, and African Americans who embarked on their journeys, willingly or forced, in search of safety and security in lands claimed by the British Empire.

OpenHeritage 3D

Subject(s)
Content type(s)
Country
As 3D and reality capture strategies for heritage documentation become more widespread and available, there has emerged a growing need to assist with guiding and facilitating accessibility to data, while maintaining scientific rigor, cultural and ethical sensitivity, discoverability, and archival standards. In response to these areas of need, The Open Heritage 3D Alliance (OHA) has developed as an advisory group governing the Open Heritage 3D initiative. This collaborative advisory group are among some of the earliest adopters of 3D heritage documentation technologies, and offer first-hand guidance for best practices in data management, sharing, and dissemination approaches for 3D cultural heritage projects. The founding members of the OHA, consist of experts and organizational leaders from CyArk, Historic Environment Scotland, and the University of South Florida Libraries, who together have significant repositories of legacy and on-going 3D research and documentation projects. These groups offer unique insight into not only the best practices for 3D data capture and sharing, but also have come together around concerns dealing with standards, formats, approach, ethics, and archive commitment. Together, the OHA has begun the journey to provide open access to cultural heritage 3D data, while maintaining integrity, security, and standards relating to discoverable dissemination. Together, the OHA will work to provide democratized access to primary heritage 3D data submitted from donors and organizations, and will help to facilitate an operation platform, archive, and organization of resources into the future.

Pandora

Content type(s)
Country
Pandora is an open data platform devoted to the study of the human story. Data may be deposited from various disciplines and research topics that investigate humans from their early beginnings until present in addition to their environmental context (e.g. archeology, anthropology history, ancient DNA, isotopes, zooarchaeology, archaeobotany, and paleoenvironmental and paleoclimatic studies, etc.). Pandora allows autonomous data communities to self-manage their webspace and community membership. Data communities self-curate their data plus other supporting resources. Datasets may be assigned a new DOI and a schema markup is employed to improve data findability. Pandora also allows for links to datasets stored externally and having previously assigned DOIs. Through this, it becomes possible to establish data networks devoted to specific topics that may combine a mix of datasets stored either within Pandora or externally.
