The "Keeper of the Walls" project is an initiative that explores visual art as a means of resistance and refusal. It aims to preserve and celebrate the stories of contemporary Black families in the Deep South. The project is inspired by Bell Hooks' "Keeper of the Walls" concept and serves as a digital humanities repository of family photographs, documents, and oral histories. All of these resources are made accessible to a global audience. This initiative empowers Black communities to tell their own stories, challenge dominant narratives about race and family, and preserve their rich history for future generations.

A collaborative exhibit created by the students of HIST 587: Topics in Public History: Monuments and Memory - The Built Environment and Historical Memory in San Diego, Spring 2023. Taught by Dr. Nathan Ellstrand. With support from Dr. Pamella R. Lach, Digital Humanities Librarian, DH Center Director, and DH@SDSU Co-Director.

Helpful guides and information about the web application Omeka S reside here. This exhibit assists first-time or returning digital curators in how Omeka S manages online digital collections. Among the Omeka S tutorials are YouTube videos created by the SDSU DH Center, hyperlinks to further information about metadata, the Omeka S manual, and HTML coding tricks, as well as helpful visuals and tips to help maximize the productivity of future SDSU exhibits.
