This paper introduces Spyral Notebooks, a notebook environment that extends Voyant Tools and offers a space for both notating and presenting analysis and for developing JavaScript code that extends Voyant. In the paper we present the design justifications for Spyral, showcase some of the analytical possibilities of Spyral, and address recent…[Read more]

In this presentation we discuss one approach to studying historical change in a large document archive, The Old Bailey Proceedings Online. In addition to the texts themselves, we are working with two kinds of representation. The first is a set of XML tags that were added to the trial accounts when the digital archive was created. Since these tags…[Read more]

As Mika Wusterland demonstrates, popular discourses around deepfakes are primarily concerned with the ability to create a historical event that can pass as “real” (39).
