Hey there, I am a Senior at Penn State Behrend in the DIGIT program. I - have strong passions for the content creation (Photography and Film) side of this - major, but also enjoy the digital humanities side of it. I also am a big fan of - competitve esports and even joined the esports scene here at PSU Behrend recently to - compete with fellow classmates. A portfolio of my Photography can be found on this page

Hi! I am a sophomore student at PSU Behrend and in my first year in the - DIGIT major. I used to be Computer Science major my first year of college, but I - knew that it wasn't for me, I liked technology but also Art, so I knew that DIGIT - was the major for me. Currently I am in DIGIT classes 100 and 110, working on many - projects throughout the semester and excited for more. If you want to see my - portfolio of all my projects, visit my website!

Hello! I'm a Junior at Penn State Behrend and I'm in the DIGIT Program. - I like to create a lot of different things and was drawn to the DIGIT Program - because of that. I like to create short films and other various art projects in my - spare time and hope to make stuff that people can enjoy! A portfolio of some of my - work can be seen here!

    The Mary Russell Mitford Archive:

    -

    Background

    -

    The Digital Mitford Archive is an ongoing project started by Dr - Beshero-Bondar, of Penn State Behrend, almost ten years ago about the life of Mary - Mitford. Mary Mitford has lived in a long and enriched life in the 1800's, with plenty - of documentation. Therefore, the project was formed with the Mary Russell Mitford - Society in the 18th- and 19th-century British Women Writers’ Conference in Albuquerque. - So far there have been many side projects completed and linked on the main page.

    -

    The Project

    -

    We are a group of four students in the class of Text Encoding for DIGIT - Majors and have come together to work collectively on the Digital Mitford Project. In - this site, we will be pulling in our own smaller projects to show off each other’s work - using information in Mary Mitford’s journal entries. Tyler Cameron created the Plants & - Animals page, Jacob Huellen helped with research and photo references, Savannah Ricks - created the Home, Hayward, and About pages, and Tyler Akam created the 1819 and 1820 - Entries pages. This project is based off learning many encoding languages in the class - DIGIT 110, such as: XML, RelaxNG, TEI, ODD, XSLT, and some HTML/CSS. We learned a lot in - this class, and we hope you've learned something too from our project!
