Abstract
The CEISMIC (Canterbury Earthquakes Images, Stories and Media Integrated Collection) project draws on the example of the Centre for History and New Media’s (CHNM) September 11 Archive, which was used to collect digital artifacts after the bombing of the World Trade Centre buildings in 2001. The project will build a federated archive that will be used to aggregate and store video, audio, emails, documents and images related to the Canterbury earthquakes, which will then be leveraged for research and teaching purposes. It will also provide the central focus of a new Digital Humanities Program. This seminar will provide a general overview of the project.
