Dr. Bethany Nowviskie describes support for and experimentation in the spatial humanities at the University of Virginia Library’s “Scholars’ Lab.” This work includes Neatline, a set of Omeka plugins designed to allow scholars to build on archival metadata to produce rich, evocative – and explicitly theoretical – geospatial and temporal visualizations of the content or context of catalogued documents and artifacts. Neatline therefore provides a framework for fruitful interchange among scholars and the stewards of primary resources, and is offered as a “contribution to interpretive humanities scholarship in the visual vernacular.” Nowviskie frames her discussion in terms of graphesis (or knowledge-making through iterative graphical expression), constraint, and play.Dr Bethany Nowviskie
