Please select a digital humanities project from this list (or this one or this one!). Use the sources/processing/presentation framework we discussed in class to identify each layer of the project. Finally, write approximately one paragraph that meditates on the effect of all these choices. Turn your identification of layers and your short analysis in via CCLE.
