Digital Humanities Initiative

The CUNY Digital Humanities Initiative (CUNY DHI), launched in Fall 2010, aims to build connections and community among those at CUNY who are applying digital technologies to scholarship and pedagogy in the humanities. All are welcome: faculty, students, and technologists, experienced practitioners and beginning DHers, enthusiasts and skeptics.

We meet regularly on- and offline to explore key topics in the Digital Humanities, and share our work, questions, and concerns. See our blog for more information on upcoming events (it’s also where we present our group’s work to a wider audience). Help edit the CUNY Digital Humanities Resource Guide, our first group project. And, of course, join the conversation on the Forum.

uploading PDFs for Hypothe.is

Posted by Michelle Yom on January 27, 2025 at 5:30 pm

This post concerns uploading PDFs on a teaching Commons site for Hypoth.is annotations.

Sometime ago, I uploaded PDFs for students to read and annotate online. After doin so, I checked to make sure that the PDFs were viewable. However, on the next day, they were no longer accessible. Yesterday, I repeated the process by uploading the same files onto the Media Library again. But today, the problem has reoccurred.

Instead of the PDF, the webpage displays the following:

<Error>

Can someone advise? Thank you in advance.

Hi Michelle,

I will have the Commons Community and Dev Teams take a look at this issue.

Best,

Thanks, Laurie.

FYI: I replaced all the PDFs in the Media Library that were not uploading to the webpages with duplicates for a class this morning. Everything is working fine for now, but I’m guessing that the problem will recur. It may have to do with the Media Library. The PDFs that didn’t load properly were also not loading in the Library. The file remained, but none of the content was visible.
