For my first story, I’ll be covering a talk on Tuesday evening by Kenneth Price, co-director of the Walt Whitman archive. It will be held in the ZSR 4th floor auditorium at 4 P.M. I chose this particular event because I find the overarching topic of the potential issues of digital archives to be quite interesting, especially being someone who must use them frequently. Additionally, as an English major, I’ve had quite a lot of exposure to Whitman, so the subject matter itself is interesting. In terms of a broader audience, digital archives are crucial to students everywhere, so to hear about the complexity of keeping such sites alive and posing new questions as to the collaborative nature of an author’s work is entirely relevant to any curriculum.
