accessCeramics

2008-

Founded in spring 2008, accessCeramic.org fills a gap in digital image collections of artwork on the web: it provides images of contemporary ceramic art by recognized artists delivered in a way that is tailored to ceramics education. accessCeramics uses the Flickr photo sharing service to support an innovative model of artist contributed images and metadata. The project, a partnership between Watzek Library's Digital Services and Visual Resources and Lewis & Clark's Ceramics program, has received financial support from NITLE and the National Endowment for the Arts.

The Spiders of Lewis & Clark

2010-

The goal of this project is to share information about the spiders that are generally found in Portland, Oregon, and specifically on the campus of Lewis & Clark College. The project began as part of Fall 2010 Perspectives in Biology course, designed to teach basic scientific inquiry to non-science majors. This iteration of the course was taught by Professor Greta Binford and focused on Biodiversity using arachnids as examples. The Spiders of Lewis & Clark showcases the research efforts of Binford's students, who collected and identified spiders from the Lewis & Clark campus and surrounding neighborhoods, and then contributed their work to this digital archive. The site displays geographic locations of spiders of Lewis & Clark, and shows a number of high magnification images of the collected spiders.

We developed the site archictecture and design for the William Stafford Archives website, an initiative of Watzek Library's Special Collections and Archives sponsored by a Lewis & Clark President's Strategic Initiative Fund grant.
