    Weekend Fly-In: Dayton, OH (KMGY) August 25‐28, 2016 Watch out! SEBS will exceed the limits of our southern boundaries and invade the Midwest region! After multiple requests, we will head back to Dayton, OH, the Birthplace of Aviation! Our last visit was in 2005 and much has happened since then including the National Museum of the US Air Force opening a new fourth hangar this June! We will visit the National Museum of the US Air Force as well as four of the five National Historic Landmarks within the Dayton Aviation Heritage National Historical Park including the Wright Cycle Company building, Hoover Block, Huffman Prairie Flying Field, 1905 Wright Flyer III, and Hawthorn Hill! Since we are going out of bounds, we are also changing logistics! The most important change is that we are hiring a charter bus for transportation (no 15 passenger vans). Also, with this fly‐in being in the summer and most attendees historically arriving early to beat afternoon buildups and thunderstorms, we are planning Thursday activities which are optional. For Thursday arrivals, there will be three bus shuttles from the airport to the hotel occurring at 11:30 am, 1:00 pm, and 5:00 pm. For those of you that want to participate in the Thursday activities, you should plan to arrive in time to secure your aircraft and catch the 1:00 pm shuttle. For any early arrivals prior to Thursday, we will have a bus that will depart the hotel at 10:30 am for the airport, so that you can tour the Wright “B” Flyer hangar and museum (see below).

    HISTORIANS’ EXPERIENCES USING DIGITIZED ARCHIVAL PHOTOGRAPHS AS EVIDENCE Alexandra M. Chassanoff A dissertation submitted to the faculty of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the School Information and Library Science. Chapel Hill 2016 Approved by: Christopher A. Lee Sandra Hughes-Hassell Matthew Kirschenbaum Ryan Shaw Helen Tibbo ©2016 Alexandra M. Chassanoff ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT Alexandra M. Chassanoff: Historians’ Experiences Using Digitized Archival Photographs as Evidence (Under the direction of Christopher A. Lee) Widespread digitization has presented scholars with unprecedented access to archival sources. In particular, the availability of archival photographs through online collections has been championed as an opportunity to fill in underrepresented histories absent from archival collections. Yet the degree to which scholars are using digital visual sources, and how they are using them, is relatively unexplored in the literature. In part, this can be attributed to the difficulties of modeling visual information use; no empirical models currently link scholarly interpretive practices to how scholars actually use visual materials. This dissertation sought to address these gaps in the literature by examining the experiences of one group – self-identified historians using digitized archival photographs as evidence in their scholarly activities. This study uses an embedded case study approach to explore how and why historians use images in the construction of their arguments. Fifteen participants were recruited during the spring and summer of 2015. I conducted semi-structured interviews with each participant, eliciting descriptions about their image practices and specific experiences related to image use.
