The Digital Deltas Project is a collaborative project to generate and embed digital history expertise at Pacific to benefit our students, our faculty, and our community. The project seeks to make the diverse communities of the region, including Filipino, Chinese, Japanese, Sikh, Hispanic, and African American, partners in the creation of the Digital Deltas website by contributing their own historical perspectives, experiences and artifacts. In collaboration with these partners and various archives and museums in the region, Digital Deltas brings together the many histories of the Delta and narrates the past of this complex agricultural and urban, multicultural region at the heart of California’s largest and most important watershed area. The site is a pedagogical tool to enhance students’ audience-centered writing and to connect them to the community. Students participate through a course-embedded experiential learning component designing and publishing their research on the history of the Delta region, including Stockton, San Francisco and Sacramento, in the virtual galleries. Explore these projects below. Our intensive 5-week summer fellowships offer Pacific students the chance to work on innovative public history projects, work with local communities, and learn a variety of digital software.
