Dear Colleagues,

Please join us in October to learn about using the Manifold digital publishing platform.

See event details below.

LUNCHTIME COMMUNITY EVENT

Date: Wednesday, October 15, 2025

Time: 12–1 PM

Location: The CUNY Graduate Center, 5th Floor, Room 5307 (feel free to bring your lunch!)

Join Lini Radhakrishnan and Cathleen Melamed, students in the M.A. program in Digital Humanities, to learn about their experience turning the coursework of “Digital Memories: Theory and Practice” into an ongoing volume-based collaborative scholarly publication Digital Memory Project Review. In the newest iteration, students created a collection of 33 reviews assessing digital methods and projects preserving cultural heritage and collective memory. Learn about the student-led editorial process, including how they organized reviews thematically and how they integrated reflections on the collaborative processes for future sustainability.

Note: These community events are open to all CUNY students, staff, and faculty. If you’re not based at the Graduate Center, you’ll need to present a current ID at the security desk to enter the building.

INTRODUCTION TO MANIFOLD

Date: Tuesday, October 21, 2025

Time: 2-3:30 PM

Registration link: https://gc-cuny-edu.zoom.us/meeting/register/9kzpOW4AQ1y6g9bFoie5ag

Please join us for a 1.5-hour Introduction to Manifold workshop. In the first part of the workshop, we will provide an overview of the Manifold digital publishing platform and explore how it is being used at CUNY to create beautiful, dynamic, multimedia digital projects and Open Educational Resources (OER) such as custom versions of public domain texts, multi-text course readers, class projects, and journals.

In the second part of the workshop participants will create their own Manifold Project, learn how to customize the layout of their Project, add Texts and Resources, and use Manifold’s built-in Social Annotation. We will provide all the digital materials needed to create a Manifold Project, but participants are welcome to use their own EPUBS, Word (.docx) files, Google docs, images, YouTube videos, etc.

No prior experience with digital publishing is required. A Manifold Project Creator role is required for the second part of this workshop.

Sign up for a Manifold Reader account first and then request to change your role to Project Creator.
