I am a recent graduate of the public history graduate program at Rutgers University. I currently serve as the digital media coordinator for the Mid-Atlantic Regional Center for the Humanities, where I wrangle bloggers and tackle our social media platforms.
In the last two years I've created an oral history database using StoriesMatter for the Salem County Historical Society, collected data on school group attendance for the education department at Cleveland's Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, and I've digitized the Balch Institute Ethnic Images in Advertising Collection at the Historical Society of Pennsylvania. I volunteer at the Alice Paul Institute in Mt. Laurel, New Jersey and the Digital Center at HSP.
In my spare time I am often silly and irreverent.
Catching Elephant is a theme by Andy Taylor
This is a fascinating visualization of how newspapers grew in the United States. Watch the video, or check out the interactive map here.
All told, the Library of Congress has indexed close to 140,000 publications (read some of the Minnesota papers here).
Interesting to watch it surge forward and then fall back… to see which areas of the country drop and add publications. Also fun to watch publications work their way across the country via waterways.
