*Campus Histories & Digital Mapping*
I directed Mapping the University, a digital project supported by 4-VA that uses archival research and digital maps to explore how two Virginia public university campuses were built. Learn more.

*Public History*
As a lead editor for the History@Work blog, I edit posts about the latest work in public history for the National Council for Public History.

*Digital Public Humanities*
At Rowan University, I organize the Douglass Day Transcribe-a-thon and co-direct the new Center for Digital Humanities Research.

As co-PI on the Mellon-funded Tropy software project at RRCHNM, I created video tutorials to teach students and researchers how to organize their archival research materials.

Multilingual Digital Humanities
I developed Spanish-language training materials and led Tropy tutorials for researchers and archivists in Latin America.
