This Project Grant award of $324,931 from the National Endowment for the Humanities will support Carnegie Mellon University's "Freedom and the Press Before Freedom of the Press" project from January 1, 2022 through December 31, 2024. The project aims to develop tools, data, and machine learning methods to discover hidden information about clandestine printing practices prior to the establishment of freedom of the press in the United States. By scaling existing digital humanities techniques, the researchers intend to glean insights from typographical details, damaged type, paper variations, and other minute physical clues that were previously unobservable at scale. The sophisticated information architecture created will help connect low-level printing anomalies to broader historical patterns. The Office of Digital Humanities grant program supports innovative digital projects that utilize technology to advance humanities research, such as this examination of covert publishing techniques through computational analysis.
