SepiaTown

SepiaTown is a cultural history project that aims to provide a window to the past by merging photography, geography, and technology, by acting as a forum for institutions and individuals to share and map historical images. Once they have signed up, users may upload historic images to the site individually or in batches. Each image is given a title, description and keywords, as well as a spatial location represented by a marker on a map. Visitors to the site can search or browse by using keywords and place-names, or by going directly to the map and clicking on a thumbnail to view images directly.

SibMEI 1.0

(From author Andrew Hankinson): I´m pleased to announce the release of SibMEI 1.0, a Sibelius to MEI plugin. Currently it only exports to MEI from Sibelius (no import). Special thanks to Micah Walter for his work on it this summer. You can download it from the GitHub "Releases" page: https://github.com/DuChemin/sibmei/releases To install: - Download the plugin (either .zip or .tar.gz) - Quit Sibelius if you have it open - Place the "sibmei" folder in your Sibelius plugins folder. See this page for help on how to find this folder on your system: http://www.sibelius.com/download/plugins/index.html?help=install - Restart Sibelius. The plugin should be available in your Plugins drop down bar. To use, simply choose "Export to MEI" from your plugins list. If you find any bugs, please help out by filing an issue on the GitHub Bug Tracker: https://github.com/DuChemin/sibmei/issues. The development of this plugin was supported by two organizations: - The Centre for Interdisciplinary Research in Music Media and Technology (CIRMMT) sponsored the initial development through a visiting research position at the University of Virginia; - The DuChemin Project, led by Richard Freedman at Haverford College and funded by grants from the NEH and Haverford College, sponsored further development in the summer of 2013. Please let me know if you have any questions or comments.

Analysis

Siena (Simulation Investigation for Empirical Network Analysis)

Siena (Simulation Investigation for Empirical Network Analysis) is a free program for statistical analysis developed particularly to work with social network data, but also applicable to other forms of network data. It models network dynamics via Markov chain models; this approach is best applied to data where relations between actors and their behaviour can be treated as a state rather than as an event. Siena's statistical analysis processes can be time-consuming, as the system works via computer simulation of the network. It was in continuous development from 2001 through 2010, releasing versions up to 3.2. Development on Siena as a stand-alone program has concuded, and the project has shifted focus to RSiena, a version of Siena deployed in R.
