This digital archive is comprised of people with dwarfism, as well as a few who had giantism. This project's purpose is to ask how the gaze, in its passing between staring and attention, can be interrogated to reveal the prejudices which still single out the anomalously bodied for the simple reason that they appear different from the normally bodied in their own ways of living.
This collection examines "beauty" displayed in Ringling Circus's archives. A circus act tells us what bodies and visual traits were stigmatized and considered abnormal in the time and place of their performance. This allows us to draw conclusions about the definition of "normal" and about standards of beauty within the setting we're observing. In this collection, the visuals shown are forms of beauty modifications such as, but not limited to, clothing, accessories, extra limbs, and hair.
This collection is organized around core themes of pain and performance, as they are deployed across four categories common to circus "freak shows": swords and sword swallowing, needles and nails, extreme strength, and performers inflicting pain on another. In each case, the performers' ability to complete these feats inspires an awe that may override sympathy. While circus freak shows often featured performers and bodies that were visibly physically disabled, we call the subjects of this collection "overly-abled," in order to highlight their difference but still call attention to the similar ways in which they are dehumanized.
Storying Extinction is a multidisciplinary digital humanities project that represents community response to the recent extirpation (2019) of southern mountain caribou from the South Selkirk mountains of North Idaho—the last caribou to inhabit the coterminous United States.

The mines in Butte, Montana, rich in base and precious metals, began to take shape in the 1870s and continued through 1982 when the underground mining was shut down. Mapping and surveying the geology, mineralogy, and mine workings of 100+ mines became the responsibility of the ACM Geology Department. The underground mine openings are generally referred to as stopes; detailed maps of the stopes were recorded from field books to a master Stope Book for each mine. This collection of books was the responsibility of the Anaconda Mining Company (founded in 1881) and is a hand-drawn representation of the tens of thousands of miles of underground workings that make up what is known worldwide as the “Richest Hill on Earth.”
The Victorian Jewish Writers Project is an archive dedicated to the study of Judaism in nineteenth-century Britain. Jews have played a prominent part in British history and culture, a fact that is too often ignored both in scholarship on Britain and in scholarship on Jews and Judaism. Despite being overlooked by scholars, British Jews were extremely prolific writers, leaving behind a treasury of literary materials showcasing their lives, interests, and concerns. Thanks to the pioneering efforts of researchers who have scoured archives and museums in order to publish books and articles, authors like Zangwill and Aguilar are increasingly becoming known to scholars and students of the nineteenth century. VJWP makes these authors accessible once more to anyone with an interest in Anglo-Jewry.

The works of art contained in this digital collection were created for the website creator's Master’s thesis in Communication and Culture. Each work was made by photographing objects of sentimental value with a CIS (Contact Image Sensor) printer scanner. Most objects have been distorted, warped, stretched, and abstracted within the image, a result of the interupption and disruption of the object’s scan by physically manipulating the materials, the scanner itself, or the platen cover as the CIS bar carries out its scan. Created as part of the CollectionBuilder course at the Digital Humanities Summer Institute (DHSI).

A virtual exhibit of early Chinese residents in Montreal, QC. Montreal's Chinese community first established itself when workers came east after the completion of the railway. By 1888, there were about 30 Chinese men living in Montreal, but by the 1890s, families had also begun to settle in a nascent Chinatown. However, many of them left behind few records. Early Chinese in Montreal is an exhibit that has both a physical and digital component. Both are inspired by original research conducted by graduate students in one of Dr. Mary Chapman’s UBC English graduate seminars. The digital exhibit attempts to provide more longevity, interaction, and access to this original research.
