Pinedrop creates websites and collaborative research tools for scholarly communities and archives. We can help your project from its initial conception and fundraising through to its implementation, testing and promotion. Recent projects include:
Transcripts is a Drupal package for working with a corpus of audiovisual materials. Researchers upload time-aligned transcripts made using ELAN, Transcriber, or their favorite transcription tool. The software then indexes those transcripts into a state-of-the-art faceted browser, which users navigate to display multimedia search results using a range of different transcript players.
Digital Scholarship (DISC) is a grassroots online forum for the sharing of news, ideas, and expertise related to all aspects of digital scholarship in the Greater Toronto Area and beyond.
This is a Tibetan-language blog site written by the brother of Dondrup Gyal, a pioneer of modern Tibetan fiction. The site is integrated with the drupal.org translation project for Tibetan.
This project presents an archive of images, writings, and place information about areas on and surrounding the Tibetan Plateau, with contributions from students, local media projects, and local and foreign teachers and scholars.
When the linguist Roger Andersen died in 2008, he left behind a wealth of audiovisual language learning materials from the variety of Quechua spoken in Bolivia. We worked with UCLA to make these materials freely available online.
For this project, we customized MOISA's catalog of works on Greek and Roman music, including developing a module adding new functionality to Drupal's biblio module. We will soon be moving their site to its new institutional home in the University of Toronto Library.
