During this livestream conversation, the 2025-2026 cohort of 

 recipients will present accessible, 5-minute overviews of their digital projects.

Topics include gay travel guides from the twentieth century; seashells and whaling routes; the history of Black businesses in Roxbury; life in colonial Charleston, SC; an Ottoman translation of Joan Blaeu’s 

; and an arboreal history of the Boston Common.
