Presenters: Dr Tara Morton
Main follow-up contact: Robert O'Toole
Overview: The Mapping Women's Suffrage project has been created by Tara Morton of the History Department, working closely with research technologists (from RTP), with input from the public (including participatory designing through public prototyping). This is a great example of a successful project, illustrating all three of the research types: patterns in data (a database of women, events, and places); close-up stories (from the suffrage campaign); and exploring being human and the potential of technology (looking forwards to new forms of activism and new ways of connecting the past, present, and future). Tara demonstrates the simple and effective Omeka S platform that she used (popular with museums and archives the world over). She explains how she developed and applied new skills in project management, design, technology, research, and public engagement.
