Stitching Stories: Bringing Material Culture into Digital Humanities Mariam Ismail Virginia Tech, United States of America

This presentation explores how 3D scanning and an interactive digital exhibit expand the quilt’s reach, integrating material culture into digital humanities while engaging descendant families, communities, and students in the process.
