Digital Humanities Project Studio / Interactive Scholarship

Archives become arguments visitors can explore.

These digital exhibitions combine archival research, close reading, data modelling, visual interpretation, and public-facing design. Each project makes its evidence and limitations visible while inviting non-linear exploration.

Food / Labour / Public Authority

Bread, Work & Power

A digital exhibition tracing how food connects household work, economic resources, and claims to public authority.

Recipes, York budget models, industrial earnings, co-operative rules, a published diary, suffrage cookbooks, and financial accounts are brought together without collapsing their distinct British and American contexts.

Recipes / Prices / Domestic Labour

A Household in Recipes

A close-reading exhibition about printed recipes, household knowledge, equipment, menus, and the labour that makes domestic life possible.

Three recipes from the consulted Beeton copy anchor the project. Family and servants' tables, an August menu comparison, and a September dinner estimate extend the inquiry from individual dishes to the organization of a household.

Research Principles

Evidence remains visible.

Sources before spectacle

Records, dates, passages, and inspection methods remain available alongside interpretation.

Uncertainty is retained

Limits, conflicting totals, and historical gaps are identified rather than smoothed away.

Design supports inquiry

Search, comparison, and non-linear navigation help visitors form connections across the archive.
