      Hi Folks,

      I’d like to draw your attention to an exciting, new digital humanities
      project we just launched at the Fashion Institute of Technology: The
      Fashion Calendar Research Database https://fashioncalendar.fitnyc.edu/.

      From 1941 to 2014, Ruth Finley published the Fashion Calendar, an
      independent, weekly periodical that listed upcoming events in the American
      fashion industry, with a primary focus on New York City. In 2020, FIT was
      awarded a “Hidden Collections” grant from the Council on Library and
      Information Resources to digitize the Fashion Calendar, which is housed in
      the FIT Library’s Special Collections and College Archives.

      A joint initiative of the Gladys Marcus Library and the FIT History of Art
      Department, this innovative digital humanities project allows users to
      explore over 70 years of fashion history. The data of nearly 200,000 events
      can be searched, mapped, and graphed, allowing users to discover rich
      patterns and threads woven into the history of fashion and the creative
      industries.

      https://fashioncalendar.fitnyc.edu/

      Thanks,

      Joseph Anderson
