Project Portfolio

Over the last decade, the Sherman Centre has supported digital projects by graduate students, faculty, staff, and community groups.

Highlights include:

• A relational database on racialized violence and an open-access database of microbotanical specimens
• Interactive maps of community-engaged research projects and the Porcupine Gold Rush
• A searchable database of McMaster experts
• Digital exhibits on Hamilton landmarks, the spread of the plague, archival treasures from 19th century France, and classical music
• 3D-printed models of ancient cities and fragments of the Dead Sea Scrolls
• Digitized topographic maps and rare 19th century novels
• Off-grid wi-fi access and local area networks
• Citizen science projects about lead contamination and climate change
• An independent and user-friendly web platform for reporting hate crimes in Hamilton.
• A sensor that detected biometric and environmental data on dogs engaging in social work (really!)

If you would like to create a digital project of your own, please reach out to us. We are especially interested in interdisciplinary work, collaborations with community groups, and projects that centre social justice.
