Urban Life... by the resident enthusiasts

Weblogs... or blogs... are diary type observations, musing, ramblings and rants by people involved enough in their chosen subject to tell the world about it. Urban Blogs are about people and places by people in urban places: their views can entice, bore, outrage, illuminate... Whatever you think about them they do make you think about them. And the complexity of urban life demands understanding of all points of view, because cities have to cater to all.

A weblog by Dale Winling

  • Update

    I am moving my site over to Drupal, but the process is not without its difficulties. For new content, follow the link here.

  • The Limitations of Digital History

    Earnest digital historian Adam Crymble offers a defense of the recent decision that LAC will replace a student visitation program with digitized documents. [Image]Library and Archives Canada (LAC) is cutting an on-site World War I workshop intended for high school history classes, and took some heat in the Globe and Mail for the decision (the [...]

  • A Beginner?s Guide to Research at Archives II (part 1)

    Ruby Button If you’re reading this, you’re probably quite excited at the prospect of research at what is likely the greatest archival repository in the country, and one of the best in the world, but somewhat bewildered about what the experience will be like. Here is a basic guide. Archives II, or The Deuce, as [...]

  • Juris Luzins

    While I’m preparing a killer power point presentation, I thought I would provide you all with another transcript of my Florida Track Club interviews from way back in undergrad. This is Juris Luzins, a William and Mary alumnus with at 3:58.1 for the mile and 1:45.2 for the 800. Luzins also ran for the professional [...]

  • Timothy O?Sullivan

    Recently I went to a Smithsonian American Art Museum exhibit on Timothy O’Sullivan, a photographer with several geological surveys of the west in the 1860s and 1870s. I was pretty excited about this because I have read about O’Sullivan’s work in Alan Trachtenberg’s Reading American Photographs (badly reproduced in the paperback) and the Oxford History [...]

  • Good News

    I’m happy to announce I have accepted a position as a visiting assistant professor at Temple University. I’ll be moving to Philadelphia in the middle of the summer and teaching in the history department and the public history program. I’m looking forward to drawing on the rich historical resources of the city and a really [...]

  • University of Chicago Sit-In, 1962

    I thought it worth re-visiting this find from a while back at the request of Angus Johnston. In my dissertation, “Building the Ivory Tower: Campus Planning, University Development, and the Politics of Urban Space,” I research the development of American universities over the course of the 20th century, using the built environment as a lens [...]

  • The Return of Content

    In the midst of a furious drive to finish my dissertation I thought it might be nice to revive this moribund blog. Way back in the day my top priority used to be distance running and all things athletics. True story: when it was time to go to grad school, I applied to masters programs [...]

  • Google Spreadsheets Gadget

    Sort of like you find at GapMinder. Need to find some income data going farther back, if possible; it is the limiting factor. This is state population, inflation-adjusted median family income, and % of 25yr-old+ population with a bachelor’s degree. Play around with this a little bit (the “play” button is in the lower left) [...]

  • Another Robert Caro Interview

    Longer (an hour), over some similar material, but really great.
