Galleries, libraries, archives, and museums (GLAM) have been placing substantial resources behind digitization. Yet, what are we to do with all of this data? In this talk, I will highlight how the digital, public humanities offer promising methods and approaches to increase access and discovery. Focusing on GLAM collections, I will discuss how text analysis, spatial analysis, and image analysis are increasing access and discovery to large collections of digital images. In particular, I will highlight two projects focus on archives from the United States: Photogrammar, a project about 1930s Great Depression and World War II documentary from the United States, and Renewing Inequality, a project about post-World War II urban policy.
