DHNow Newsletter, January 21, 2026

This issue was curated by Colleen Nugent McLean, DHNow Project Manager.

Our first Editors’ Choice provides an assessment of Marimo Notebooks, a new tool similar to Jupyter Notebooks and Google Colab. The second selection is a case study of agentic coding for text analysis of newspapers, highlighting the continued difficulty of OCR on newspapers. Our third selection uses interactive visualizations to interrogate the use of musical motifs in storytelling for musicals. We have included various CFPs, reports on open data and metadata, and teaching resources on machine learning.
