For the Europeana Libraries, Friedel Grant blogs about the 10 Things That Humanities Researchers Want based upon conversations around a report Reinventing Research? Information Practices In The Humanities from the Research Information Network. Both of excellent resources that begin to articulate developing research practices in the digital humanities.

Growth or Declension: Methodist Historians’ Treatment of the Relationship Between the Methodist Episcopal Church and the Culture of the United States

Besides including us in the second footnote, Mark Teasdale's article is a helpful bibliographic essay at the intersection of Methodist history, culture, and evangelism. Teasdale reviews several post-Civil War histories of Methodism with an eye towards understanding how these influenced perceptions of church growth or declension.

Church history visualized

The First United Methodist Church of Charlotte, NC's local church history was digitized for this project. The resulting full text of the history was sent through Wordle, which creates word images based upon the number of times particular words are used in the text (more frequently used words appear larger). The resulting image suggests something about the important role of women in the church.
