ast month the Montpelier Digital Collections Project was
announced
as a recipient of the National Endowment of the Humanities’ Digital
Humanities Advancements Grant. Montpelier, a stately plantation house
located in the hills north of Charlottesville, Virginia, is best known
as the former home of the United State’s fourth president, James
Madison. While we might think of the history of Madison’s life and times
as set, new archaeological and archival research has been steadily
building on our understanding of this period in our nation’s past.
Scholarly research in archaeology and history often ends up in
academic journals, locked behind paywalls, or dusty archives that are
difficult for the public to access.

deciding for myself.” M. Hashimoto
