abstract:Digitization has increased the accessibility of archival holdings. At the same time, digitization not only changes the relationship between the archivist and the researcher, but it also changes the way records are described. The author argues that, in order to remain relevant, archives need to different programs and develop into centers of expertise.

Mark J. Sciuchetti Jr.
Moravian maps are important representations of the way eighteenth-century Moravians navigated, lived, and how they understood space and place. To explore these connections, the author discusses the benefits and limitations of examining and georectifying historical maps by cartographers such as Andreas Hoeger, Philipp Christian Gottlieb Reuter, and Georg Wenzeslaus Golkowsky.
摩拉维亚地图是18世纪摩拉维亚人航行、生活方式以及他们如何理解空间和地点的重要代表。为了探索这些联系，作者讨论了Andreas Hoeger、Philipp Christian Gottlieb Reuter和Georg Wenzeslaus Golkowsky等制图师对历史地图进行检查和地理校正的好处和局限性。

abstract:This article briefly considers the question of how the status of archival artifacts as objects of cultural memory and heritage is affected by the transformations of digitization, digital manipulation, and analysis. It considers the role of the scholar, teacher, and student in the ethical employment of the methods of digital humanities when working with archival materials.

abstract:This article discusses the application of digital sound technologies within the field of Moravian studies through the case study of Moravian Soundscapes, a digital companion project to the book Moravian Soundscapes: A Sonic History of the Moravian Missions in Early Pennsylvania (Bloomington: Indiana University Press, 2020). Through sound recordings, digital and historic maps, and archival materials from the Moravian Archives in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, and Herrnhut, Germany, as well as place-based photography, the project documents and reconstructs the soundscapes of eighteenth-century Moravian mission communities in eastern Pennsylvania. The article advocates for the use of sound mapping and sound reconstructions as important methods for understanding the intangible cultural heritage of early Moravian communities.

G. Specter
abstract:This article explores precarious academic employment’s effect on the work of doing digital humanities work, specifically in the context of Moravian studies. The article documents the author’s experience of working on a digital humanities project. It focuses on the Moravian’s Boarding School in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania. The article explores how the work of the digital humanities cannot be done without the broad support that comes from academic employment and access to resources, both technical and monetary. The author situates these issues within the context of how precarious academic employment will potentially affect the field of Moravian studies.

abstract:The proliferation of digitized manuscript sources has opened up a wide range of applications for using primary sources in undergraduate learning environments. This article describes a learning activity that simulates the process of making archival sources accessible to the general public. In the simulation, students work with digital copies of manuscripts from the Moravian Archives. After a brief description of the activity, the article offers reflection on the author’s goals for the exercise and responses from students who found this simulation to be a positive learning experience.

K. Faull, Michael A. McGuire
abstract:This article introduces a computational methodology of analysis to enhance and assist in understanding the occurrences of sentiment in a sample eighteenth-century corpus of German and English Moravian memoirs (Lebensläufe). The computational methods used include sentiment tagging and scoring to derive sentiment trendlines, part of speech (POS) tagging with lemmatization (grouping inflected forms together as a single base form), word frequency analysis, semantic tagging in XML-compliant TEI, and “key word” analysis. This analysis using DH (Digital Humanities) methods, sentiment trendlines, and contextual word usage can give a more complete picture of how sentiment is used in Moravian memoirs. The corpus of forty-eight transcribed German and English memoirs from the Moravian Lives transcription desk on the project website (https://moravian.bucknell.edu) is originally from both the Moravian Archives in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, and the former Fetter Lane Archive, now kept at Church House Archives in Muswell Hill, London, UK.

abstract:This Forum includes seven articles by scholars working in the field of Moravian Studies reflecting on their work with “Digital Moravians,” either in their scholarship or in the classroom. The articles cover everything from the nature the archivist’s work in a digital age (Paul Peucker), to the painstaking work of georectification and historic sound reproduction (Mark Sciuchetti and Sarah Eyerly, respectively), to new forms of scholarly editions of archival materials as open and public facing scholarship announced on social media (Martin Prell), to the use of digital manuscripts to invite history undergraduates behind the curtain to actively participate in the work of the historian (Jared Burkholder). Additional articles consider the challenges of digital humanities work for the growing ranks of precarious scholars who lack institutional support for the types of collaborative work required (Gregory Specter) and the innovative technical digital humanities scholarship possible when a scholar is backed by an institution committed to supporting and showcasing digital scholarship and pedagogy (Katherine Faull at Bucknell University). These articles will provide inspiration to scholars working in—or wanting to explore—archives-based digital historical scholarship and pedagogy, whatever their subfield.
