Ginny White and Stephanie Wood have been selected from a sizable, national applicant pool to participate in an NEH institute, Enabling Geospatial Scholarship, that will take place in late May at the University of Virginia. Ginny and Stephanie teamed up with Jon Jablonski and Karen Estlund of the UO Libraries to apply jointly for this honor. Jon and Karen were chosen to participate in the first tracks, which took place this past November, and Ginny and Stephanie have just heard that they have been chosen for the final track this spring.
WHP continues to explore GIS applications for its Mapas Project (Mesoamerican indigenous authored pictorial manuscripts and maps) and its forthcoming Age of Exploration European maps. Undergraduate assistant Aaron López, a GIS major, is also assisting with this project, looking especially at GIS applications for the maps in the Codex Cardona.
