Collaborations

Several groups at Smith College were involved in making this project possible.

First, the Department of Classical Languages and Literatures has been instrumental in allowing the course to make use of the Van Buren Antiquities Collection.

Equally important has been the contribution of Educational Technology Services, who provided guidance at every step, and who led a number of workshops in Timeline JS and WordPress, along with overseeing all aspects of the technology more generally.

The Imaging Center has led workshops on 3D scanning and preparing models for printing, both for the course as a whole and for individual students, as well as facilitating the integration of 3D models into the Timelines and offering advice on a number of points on photogrammetry or otherwise.

Finally, our liaisons at Neilson Library have been enormously helpful in facilitating the project at all levels.

Thanks are due to all of the individuals involved.
