Mapping Color in History

2019 – 2025

Mapping Color in History is a digital humanities project that brings together the scientific data drawn from existing and ongoing material analyses of pigments in Asian painting in a historical perspective. Funding sources include the National Endowment for the Humanities, the Harvard Dean's Competitive Fund for Promising Scholarship, and the Harvard Barajas Dean's Innovation Fund for Digital Arts and Humanities.

Dr. Jinah Kim is the project PI. I am Digital Technology Coordinator for the project, maintaining the project infrastructure, testing features, providing feedback, designing D3 / Leaflet visualizations, and occasionally doing fullstack work in Django. MCiH is in active development, anticipating a public release in 2021.
