There is now a CONTENT FREEZE for Mercury while we switch to a new platform. It began on Friday, March 10 at 6pm and will end on Wednesday, March 15 at noon. No new content can be created during this time, but all material in the system as of the beginning of the freeze will be migrated to the new platform, including users and groups. Functionally the new site is identical to the old one. webteam@gatech.edu

The project brings together students from diverse disciplinary backgrounds to work on frameworks for community and digital archives. Depending on interests and aptitudes, students will be asked to develop relationships with local communities, design archives that prioritize the wants and needs of these communities, architect and implement technical solutions that help communities discover and explore their histories, and help with the analysis of the archives and systems as they are assembled.
Fall 2019 work will include:
Open to all majors. Experience with or willingness to learn archival practices, community engagement, social and local history, natural language processing, social network analysis, machine/deep learning, digital design (UI/UX).
