A THATCamp topic for consideration and also a plug for a project I’m working on…
I have a current project to collect outstanding examples of projects related to historic buildings or districts and archaeological sites that presented an innovative or creative solution to mitigating adverse effects, interpreting the history, or public outreach. We have set-up a website at www.creativemitigation.com that provides background info on the project and allows the public to submit info on projects they have worked on, or just encountered as visitors. One of the categories we are looking at is the use of new and emerging technologies (social media, web sites/virtual tours, GPS/smartphone apps, or anything else) to more effectively interpret historic and archaeological resources and connect with and outreach to the public in interesting ways.
So if you know of or have worked on an innovative and effective project associated with a physical historic or archaeological resource, tell us about it at www.creativemitigation.com. Thanks!

Interested in the results and will fill out the survey. Am working on a guide to best practice in digital humanities curation, so I am esp. curious as to what you’ve been learning.
