How to Digital History: Using Google’s Translator Toolkit https://michaeldeliz.com/2015/09/using-google-translator-toolkit.html https://michaeldeliz.com/2015/09/using-google-translator-toolkit.html#comments Thu, 10 Sep 2015 01:32:30 +0000 http://michaeldeliz.com/?p=616 Continue reading]]>

For historians doing world history, or any form of transnational history, language translation and interpretation are two of the most useful skills in their research toolbox.  Unfortunately, as important as these skills are to our research, historians are often on the outskirts of language research and language technologies.  Google’s  Translator Toolkit is one such technology that seems to have flown over the head of most historians.  In the last three years since I began using the program, I have yet to hear it mentioned by a single historian.  In the video above I take you through a small tutorial of the Toolkit’s abilities and maybe, just maybe, you’ll find it as useful as I have.

How to Digital History: Scapple a basic tutorial https://michaeldeliz.com/2015/08/how-to-digital-history-scapple-a-basic-tutorial.html https://michaeldeliz.com/2015/08/how-to-digital-history-scapple-a-basic-tutorial.html#comments Tue, 11 Aug 2015 20:05:50 +0000 http://michaeldeliz.com/?p=597 Continue reading]]>

Scapple is at its most basic a mind-mapping program.  I use the program as a quick and easy brain-dump platform to just get things out of my head, but by its simple nature I believe the program could be used by students to take notes and by historical researchers to organize their data and arguments.   I have found Scapple to be very useful and worth the $15 purchase.

This is the flagship campus of UPR, there are others around the island, but this is the one with the primary historical research stacks that other historians might be interested in.  Unfortunately,  I did not take photos of the inside of the library.
