The Durrës Regional Archaeological Project (DRAP) was a intensive surface survey field project centered around the modern town of Durrës, Albania.
This collection represents all of the raw data collected from the project, whether born analog or born digital.
Archive of the 2014-15 exhibition, featuring photographs by Richard E. Schade. The photographs were exhibited first in Gallery K in the Max Kade German Cultural Center from November 3 - 26, 2014, and then in the Clifton Cultural Arts Center from January 17 - February 28, 2015. Richard Schade took the photographs at the Berlin Wall upon his visits in 1964 and 1989. They document his experience of the Wall.
Images of bryophyte label specimens from the University of Cincinnati herbarium (CINC) used for databasing the collection. This project was funded by the US National Science Foundation.
Images of marine organisms, invertebrate and vertebrate animals, and plants, and environments, gathered in my research in the tropical Western Atlantic and tropical Pacific oceans. These are mostly underwater photographs taken as 35 mm images by me and several colleagues. Images are grouped by geographic locality, then taxonomic group. Data are provided on taxonomic identification, exact location, date, photographer, water depth, publications, and relevant information. The image displayed is a jpeg, and in addition, there is a tif file of approximately 20 MB which can be provided upon request. Contact me at david.meyer@uc.edu. Currently available images are of comatulid crinoids from 8 localities in the Tropical Western Atlantic and 8 in the Indo-West Pacific. Since there are 421 images the contents list will take a short time to appear.
Collected media artworks of Associate Professor Charles Woodman, Electronic Artist. School of Art, Department of Art, Architecture, and Planning, University of Cincinnati.
In the summer of 2015, UC English Emerita Professor Lucille M. Schultz donated to the University of Cincinnati’s Department of English and Comparative Literature her archive of 19th-century composition and rhetoric textbooks and handbooks, and several sets of student papers and letters from the same period. Professor Schultz collected these materials during her 26-year career as a scholar of rhetoric and composition at UC.
Professor Schultz made high-quality photocopies of the included materials from 15 libraries and archives around the country, primarily from collections at the Library of Congress and at Harvard University’s Monroe C. Gutman Library. She published a number of articles based on the collection and two scholarly monographs--The Young Composers: Composition’s Beginnings in Nineteenth-Century Schools (1999), the first full-length history of school-based writing instruction, and the co-written, with Jean Ferguson Carr and Stephen L. Carr, Archives of Instruction: Nineteenth-Century Rhetorics, Readers, and Composition Books in the United States. The latter was awarded the MLA’s 2005 Mina P. Shaughnessy Prize, "presented for an outstanding scholarly book in the fields of language, culture, literacy, and literature that has a strong application to the teaching of English." Schultz, who spent nearly ten years locating the materials included in the archive, believes her collection includes all extant 19th-century school-based composition books that are publicly available. The archive, however, does not contain every edition of every book.
The Schultz archive provides a thorough vision of composition practices in 19th-century U.S. schools. With 257 entries representing the period from 1785 to 1916, the collection includes, among other artifacts, picture books for early primary school students, 103 grammar handbooks, and advanced rhetoric textbooks for college students. The materials highlight practices we would today identify as prewriting, freewriting, object-oriented pedagogy, student-centered activities, and multimodal composing. Including lessons, student examples, and images, the texts provide glimpses into 19th-century lives, material cultures, and pedagogical practices. The archive also helps readers understand the socially conservative nature of textbooks: great attention is paid to Christopher Columbus, for example; "demon rum" is seen as an evil, resulting in poverty; and slavery gets no mention. In thus putting a lens on the past, the archive invites reader to reexamine the present.
In addition, the Schultz archive provides a complex backdrop to the origins of rhetoric and composition and to the formation of literacy instruction in the U.S. For example, included texts offer a variety of references to the cultural implications of composition instruction. These cultural components are represented through discussions of cultural assimilation, cultural separation/distinction, religion and the acquisition of "high" culture. In one salient example, George Thompson, in Letters to Sabbath-School Children on Africa (1855), writes about composition instruction as taught by American missionaries to children in Africa. Much of this text addresses the superiority of the English language and the necessity of teaching children to use it properly. Thompson’s text effectively demonstrates cultural assimilation practices as they relate to nonnative English speakers. The practice of cultural assimilation through language also emerges in David Blair’s The Universal Preceptor: Being a General Grammar of Arts, Sciences, and Useful Knowledge (1826), which argues for the exclusion of borrowed words and idiomatic expressions in an effort to purify the English language.
As this snapshot of the archive suggests, the included materials provide a foundation for fruitful research that could examine contemporaneous documents, laws and historical events that have contributed to the assimilation of native and immigrant cultures in the U.S. during the 19th-century (and beyond). The texts invite comparison to contemporary rhetorics related to English-only laws and educational practices, as well as the continued suppression of nondominant languages and cultures within U.S. literacy education. And this is only the beginning. Scholars may also be interested in the archive to study student writing, teacher response methods, classroom conditions and materials, and many other subjects that pertain to literacy instruction during the 19th-century.
Since receiving this comprehensive collection in 2015, graduate students in rhetoric and composition at UC have begun using it as a resource for research projects. By digitizing the collection, our goal is to welcome more users to access the collection. With assistance from the Taft Research Center and the UC library archivists, the resulting online database is available to scholars across the country and around the world, making possible wide public access to a collection of materials otherwise unavailable in a single archive.
Those interested in browsing the print copies of the Schultz archive, currently housed in 110 McMicken Hall, please contact Professor Russel Durst at russel.durst@uc.edu to set up an appointment.

The proceedings of the CCCC 2017 Midwest Summer Conference, June 8-10, 2017.
The goal of this conference is to support best practices in working with diverse students in diverse writing environments. Examining the intersection of diversity and writing is critical in developing engaging and ethical composition courses. NCTE and CCCC have a long history of supporting students from diverse backgrounds with the 1974 Resolution on the Students’ Right to their Own Language and the recent Supporting Linguistically and Culturally Diverse Learners in English Education. In 2016, instructors are still concerned about honoring their students’ linguistic varieties while also working with them to write in multiple modes for many audiences. As new forms of composition emerge, instructors are seeking ways to incorporate digital literacy activities for students to write for a range of readers. This conference will provide an opportunity for participants to share their research in digital writing, multimedia writing, working with diverse students, and writing across the curriculum. We are delighted to invite proposals that consider addressing the needs of diverse writers while working in multiple genres, formats, and modalities.
This conference is a collaboration between McMicken College of Arts & Sciences, UC Blue Ash, and UC Clermont College.

Half a century ago, thoracic surgeon Paul W. Schafer, MD., believed that the centriole, which was barely visible in light microscopy, was different from all other organelles. He advanced electron micrographic studies that suggested the centrioles had inter-cellular order, i.e., that they might have communication or “force at a distance” interaction.

During the fall semester of 2013, guest fellow Ignacio García May, from Spain, taught a Taft Research Seminar on the techniques of writing for the theater. The seminar was supported by Andrés Pérez-Simón, Assistant Professor of Spanish, who acted as convener, and Patricia O'Connor, Emerita Professor of Spanish, who was available in an advisory capacity.
During the first sessions of the seminar, Prof. García May provided the basic rules of playwriting:
* Playwriting’s specificity as opposed to any other form of writing. Dramatic text as a voluntarily unfinished and problematic text.
* Different kinds of dramatic structures, plots and subplots
* Real time vs. stage time; the triggering incident; dramatic progression.
* The world in a nutshell: unlimited-but-limited spaces of drama.
* Language of drama: dialogues, monologues, didascalia (stage direction).
* Defining characters: agon (in ancient Greek: conflict, combat, dispute) as foundation of relationship.
* Reality is not always believable: plausibility vs. truth.
* Mechanics of comedy.
* Mechanics of tragedy.
Then, under the guidance of professors Pérez-Simón and García May, the students developed their own original short plays using the information received. The finished plays were read and discussed in class. Although none of the students had previous experience in playwriting, all the resulting short plays were worthy, and some of them were first class and deserve to be published. It was considered a good idea to create a digital repository that could be maintained as a dynamic file of dramatic texts, where future writers (and even well-established playwrights in Spanish language) could publish their own plays. In addition to original creations, translations of plays done by UC students—undergraduate or graduate—could also be published in this archive. Finally, the repository contains the videos of two lectures delivered by prof. García May in October and November 2013, available for free download.
The creation of this repository was overseen by Arlene Johnson, Associate Senior Librarian and Digital Humanities Strategist, and Nathan Tallman, Assistant Librarian and Digital Content Strategist, in collaboration with prof. Pérez-Simón. This is a project of interdisciplinary nature and global scope, two pillars of the UC2019 Strategic Plan.
