New posts in 100 Digital Discoveries blog

This month in 100 Digital Discoveries, we learn from Jeff Edmunds about the Libraries’ likely earliest digital humanities project, Zembla, a site devoted to Vladimir Nabokov’s life and works. Before the site gets archived (in December 2015), see what an early web-based exploration of Nabokov looked like and provided for scholars of the author.

We also get a close-up of one of the Libraries’ most popular digital collections, La Vie Online. Linda Friend describes how the collection reflects key activities over the years at Penn State, such as THON and events featuring renowned figures, such as Gwendolyn Brooks. La Vie Online gives Penn State alumni a way to look back on their years in Happy Valley and re-capture some of that experience long past but not forgotten. — Patricia Hswe
