When I was working with mostly typewritten documents from the 20th century, I shot at the lowest resolution: 1728 x 1152. Images of the George Cadwalader papers, organized into computer folders with the same name as the physical folders at the Historical Society of Pennsylvania Thus, I replicate the archive on my computer. Once I’ve photographed all I want from a physical archival folder, I move all the images to a computer folder with that name. I create what I call a “shooting folder” to receive these images. Most importantly, shooting to the laptop drive keeps the images organized. Second, my photos appear on the laptop screen, so I can quickly review what I’ve shot to see that I got adequate resolution and that my hand wasn’t in the way. This gives me enough depth of field that as I get to the bottom pages of a folder, I need not refocus the camera. First, it doesn’t shake the camera, so I can shoot at small apertures despite the resulting slow shutter speeds. Tethered shooing offers several advantages. When I tether it to my laptop (MacBook Pro, 2010) with a USB cable, I can use the laptop to trigger the shutter and have the image stored on my hard drive, rather than on the camera’s card. I particularly rely on its capacity for remote shooting. My camera is a Canon Rebel XT DSLR, which is relatively less impressive than when I bought it in the summer of 2005 but is still fine for the archives. I camp out at a desk and shoot hundreds of images each day. Most the archives I’ve worked in over the past few years have allowed unlimited digital photography. I offer this information both to offer and seek help, since I think I am doing some things right but could be doing other things more efficiently. I figure I’ll throw my hat in with a description of my current process, ugly as it is. The AHA has set up a Pinterest board called A Digital Tool Box for Historians, my new colleague Stephen Robertson has posted an essay about moving to digital sources, and Nate Kogan has written about his use of Zotero, Word, Scrivener, and Papers 2, though he tweets that I showed him something of Filemaker Pro back in the day. Stop by for updates and let me know if you have any questions.Maybe it’s that time of summer, but historians seem to be thinking about the tools they use to conduct research. I’ll also get into more detail with Aeon Timeline. I will have tutorials how I use DEVONthink Pro and Scrivener together. For the most part, because it is called Simply Scrivener, I kept it to only Scrivener tutorials with a few exceptions here and there where I played around with other applications that team up nicely with Scrivener.Ī recent purchase was DEVONthink Pro for all matters of content management for my research (you all know how much I love spending my time looking for new information on the Spanish Civil War). ![]() Lastly, will I be updating this site? Yes and no. As much as I would love to include video, I won’t because that’s not my strength. These two workbooks are modeled after Adobe’s Classroom in Book format. I avoid texting as much as possible because my eyes are just not that sharp. Why? To be honest, I don’t like writing on my iPhone. I’ll also have a Scrivener for iOS workbook as well. I didn’t want to write one for Scrivener 2 and constantly update for every iteration of the app). Why did I wait so long? In part because I was waiting for Scrivener 3 (and I’m lazy. Third, I threatened long ago that I’d be writing a Scrivener workbook(s), which I am self-publishing and you will be able to purchase them here at Simply Scrivener. You’ll see what features have been upgraded and redesigned (let’s say I am really excited about the new corkboard revamp). In terms of getting a sneak peek on new or updated features, go to ’s blog. To run Scrivener 3, you’ll be required to have macOS 10.12 Sierra or High Sierra. What’s new? First, Scrivener 3 for macOS is a 64-bit app that will run smoothly with all the new Mac technolgies. Scrivener 3 FOR WINDOWS will come out in 2018, but there will be free betas for users to play with. Scrivener 3 FOR THE MAC will be a paid update-price is TBD-for those who already have Scrivener 1 or 2. Second, if you haven’t heard, there will be a new version of Scrivener coming out in the fall, probably around the same time as Apple’s new OS update. I’ll post when I have specific dates and the cost. First, I’ll be teaching Scrivener iOS class via the Orange County Chapter of RWA next month. What does that have to do with SimplyScrivener? Apart that I write everything in Scrivener, nothing.īut I do have some Scrivener news. That was not my intention, but life got in the way. ![]() It’s been almost a year since I posted here. ![]()
