This course was supported by a Hrabowski Innovation Grant which allowed Susan Graham and her team to digitize a collection of donated materials related to George Cruikshank. Cruikshank was nineteenth-century England’s most prolific caricaturist and illustrator; the Merkle family's donation included unbound manuscript materials and over 120 printed works. Working in teams to build a digital resource based on these materials, students produced "Digital Cruikshank: Etching & Sketching in Nineteenth-Century England" (https://library-dev.umbc.edu/wp/specialcollections/cruikshank/) The resource features over 130 sketches gathered into collections with accompanying explanatory content. This presentation will share elements of the project management workflow and student-created guides and templates. We will also highlight the interdisciplinary affordances of collaborative, archival work as well as the significant pedagogical benefits of a project-based class in the Humanities.Item Marcy J.

Hardcover (ISBN 978-0-8122-5378-8).(University of Chicago Press, 2024-03) DiCuirci, LindsayItem "Me Time": Motherhood, Reading, and Myths of Leisure(Penn State University Press, 2023) Bhalla, Tamara; DiCuirci, LindsayIn this micro article, the authors survey the media landscape, including bestseller lists and celebrity book club culture, think pieces and mommy blogs, to examine the discourse around "me time," reading, and motherhood. The article explores how the cultivation of "me time," which is ostensibly about taking time away from mothering, returns mothers to the work of self-improvement, disguised as self-care. The books that mothers are reading (judged by their posts online, book awards, bestseller lists, book club culture, etc.) and the ways they are blogging about "me time" reading suggests that under the conditions of twenty-first-century neoliberalism, reading mothers must use this time to meditate upon and improve their mothering. "Me time" reading is framed as a separation from maternal labor but instead impels mothers to justify their solitary habit and redeem reading as a contribution to—rather than detraction from—family life.Item Mill Girls in Nineteenth-Century Print(American Antiquarian Society) DiCuirci, Lindsay; Abee, Alexa; Amoruso, Lauren; Atkins, Allison; Burns, Amanda; Chen, Elizabeth; Harris, James; Kim, Grace; Kramer, Brittney; Lanspa, Rachel; Manas, Samuel; Njapau, Nicki; Pickering, Elizabeth; Ruben, Trevor; Shamberger-Sandosky, Ging; Spicer, Sarah; Taylor, Mary; Wisniewski, Kevin; Abaagu, Anne-Marie; Gallagher, James; Handelsman, Eyal; Johnson, Cheyenne; Lee, Joshua; Leisher, William; Mathwich, Hannah; Nash, Joseph; Noe, Carolyn; Phillip, Natalie; Stitcha, JasonItem Project-Based Teaching in Special Collections: Building Digital Cruikshank(Sharp News, 2023-01-30) DiCuirci, LindsayItem Puritan Spirits in the Abolitionist Imagination by Kenyon Gradert (review)(MIT Press, 2022-03-01) DiCuirci, Lindsayhough every civil rights advance of previous decades was not reversed, many were. National recognition of a revived states’ rights doctrine, manifest in “separate but equal,” would assure policies of white supremacy for generations. By giving legitimacy to segregation in education, employment, housing, and public accommodations, supremacist policies nearly erased the bravery, idealism, and accomplishments of the first civil rights movement that Kate Masur so insightfully chronicles. Segregation masquerading as “separate but equal” rights supplied legitimacy for race discrimination. After Plessy, though new generations of activists opposed segregation in the United States Post Office and the United States armed forces, no congress and no president would challenge segregation until confronted by comparison with the Nazi regime.Item Reading History in Britain and America, c. 1750–c. 1840 by Mark Towsey (review)(Johns Hopkins University Press, 2020-08) DiCuirci, Lindsay
