Digital Humanities

A showcase of significant digital humanities projects at Ball State and part of the Indiana Digital Humanities Initiative

Indiana Civil Rights Digital Museum

The Indiana Civil Rights Digital Museum helps people learn about people, places, and events connected to civil rights activism in the Hoosier State. Funded by the National Park Service, this web experience attempts to help people remember significant Civil Rights experiences that matter in the continuing struggle for equality in our communities. The project is ongoing and continues to upload materials.

Diversity and Disability in "The Canterbury Tales"

Diversity and Disability in "The Canterbury Tales" is an ongoing project that analyzes and explores Geoffrey Chaucer’s The Canterbury Tales by creating adapted texts and accessible tools for modern audiences.  Its initial phase was developed by Dr. Alex Kaufman and students in his Honors 390 course (Fall 2019). 

Digital History Portal

The Ball State Digital History Portal provides access to digital thematic research archives created by students in history professor Douglas Seefeldt’s Introduction to Digital History.  These student works explore Ball State's history using digitized primary sources and narrative content.

The Infinite Museum

The Infinite Museum was an immersive learning project via the Virginia B. Ball Center for Creative Inquiry that sought to re-imagine and challenge the traditional experience of art museum visitors.
