Surveying literature on digital archives has gotten my brain working on some research questions that might be interesting, and using this research journal to link ideas to sources could be very helpful for future reference. I'm going to keep the ideas milling around while I continue to do research, but this can be my first go at sources and questions that I come up with related to them.
1-Resource: Gervits, M. & O'Donnell, J. (2011). Digital archive of Newark architecture.
Related research question: How are specific themes, ideas, etc represented to the public in digital archives? Looking at the software, layout, content, etc across multiple institutions. **I would want to pick one or two thematic elements such as artworks on paper, photography, or something else that is represented in multiple digital archives that are web accessible.
2-Resource: Higgins, S. (2012). Cataloging images using CONTENTdm.
Related research question: What is the most useful / least useful software (open source and proprietary) available for digital archives or specifically for cataloging images? Survey resources related to digital archives software, investigate software, possibly survey archivists.
3-Resource: Latham, K.F. (2011). Medium rare: Exploring archives and their conversion from original to digital part two.
Related research question: How to effectively manage the conversion of original archival material to digital?
