My primary interest in attending THAT camp is learning more about Omeka and digital archiving in general, so I add my voice to the prior posts.

I am also interested in research methodologies surrounding digital archives. At a conference last weekend, I heard several presentations featuring research in which transcribed histories, blogs, and other digital repositories served as source material for rhetorical analysis. As my research this semester involves collecting oral histories, I wondered about the parameters and ethics surrounding these practices, and how often this kind of research is used. If anyone attending the conference this weekend has experience with this kind of research, I would be most interested in hearing their perspectives on the subject.
