Hi GeoNet community, My name is Matthew Monk. I am a PhD student at the University of Delaware. I am a lost humanities student attempting to dip his toes in to the pool of GIS and digital humanities work. My work focuses on material culture studies, the history of technology and industry, and American History from 1790-1860. I am working on a Material Culture Theory class project. We are working on mapping museum sites around the world that have Crow objects in their collections. We have all of our data gathered, and I have been tasked with turning spreadsheets into visually pleasing and useable information. This is the beginnings of a digital repatriation project that we will be handing over the Little Big Horn College in Crow Agency, Montana in the upcoming months. This project has been an opportunity for us to conduct some initial research and give us some experience with digital platforms. I am very excited to roll up my sleeves and learn a lot! I am very grateful that this community of users and experts exists. I am sure I will be leaning heavily on your advice and knowledge in the upcoming weeks. Best, Matthew Monk PhD Student, UNIDEL Graduate Scholar History of American Civilization Department of History University of Delaware
