Abstract
The study of History. Digital Humanities strategies expand the field by connecting Upstate students with original never read 18th century hand-written letters in an internship led by historian, Tammy Pike of Upstate in conjunction with, Joe Hursey of the Greenville Historical Preservation Society.
In this digitization project, Upstate students Lauren Henderson and Mallory Stoop have transcribed original hand-written letters of local Upstate mill owner, H. P. Hammett. The outcome of the digital project will allow the transcribed materials to be digitally available and word searchable for further research.
Through these digital tools, the project connects the public with original hand-written letters now transcribed and available at the Piedmont Historic Preservation Society and the Piedmont Historical Museum. Through the process of transcribing the previously unknown original hand-written letters of H. P. Hammett, the interns are continually discovering new pieces of history that will allow the museum to build very detailed and correct historical exhibits and a wider history on H.P. Hammett. Through this digital project, both interns continue to be students of history, but also contributors.
