As part of the CFI-JELF grant we received, we have been converting three small rooms in Paterson Hall into our Cultural Heritage Informatics Colaboratory spaces. It’s been a long process, but today we started examining the archaeological materials recovered from the homestead of Philemon Wright near Leamy Lake in Hull (Gatineau), courtesy of the NCC.
The room is nowhere near to being fully set up, but it’s an auspicious day: our first day in our new space doing archaeological work! And as far as we know, the first archaeology lab at Carleton U ever.

The X-Lab draws on Carleton’s internationally recognized pre-existing strengths in digital humanities, data science, public history, curatorial studies, visualization, and our museum/institutional/field partnerships.
