I’ve also played around quite a bit with pdf applications for OCR, notetaking, and mark-up, including DevonThink, Adobe, Skim, and Apple’s own Preview. (More on academic workflow with Mac Apps is available here and here at Kerry Magruder’s very helpful site).

I’m not completely anti-Microsoft, and given the ubiquity of Word in the academic and publishing world, I will still often use Word 2004 for Mac (not the newest) for final editing so as not to risk problems in file conversion. The key programs have become DevonThink Pro Office, Bookends, Scrivener, and some combination of Mellel or Pages. To my pleasant surprise, I found in the Apple community a variety of software applications well suited to the qualitative academic’s endeavor, and have been slowly developing workflows for myself that are both productive and enjoyable. I figured I could use the programs I really liked if I couldn’t find a satisfactory replacement through something like Parallels or Boot Camp. decided to move to Intel chips, the barriers to moving platforms seemed greatly reduced to me. So, what does all that have to do with Macs? When Jobs and Co. Devonthink Pro Office 2 1 For Mac Free Download Cnet I managed to collect, within those years, every case involving a woman as a primary litigant within the Corregimiento of Quito (not the whole of the Audiencia, but the city and its immediate hinterland) that existed in the sections of the Archive I chose. I lost count along the way, but I have on two separate CD copies and an external hard drive, literally hundreds of thousands of manuscript pages, and this taken from alternating decades (1765-1774, 1785-1794, 1805-1814, 1825-1834, 1845-1854) and culled from the Criminales, Civiles, and 1st Notary sections of the archive. For the funded, yet still poor graduate student, this was the perfect solution. On the most prolific days, I took more than 1000 folio pictures (facing pages), and 2 cameras and many months later was left with 70 CDRs filled with photographs– for zero charge by the Archive.

But how to do it? After experimenting with a friend’s camera, I bought a 5MP digital point and shoot that took great pictures, even if it was ill-suited for the volume I put it through. After about a month of reading, I decided the relative procedural predictability of judicial cases lent itself particularly to broad-based collecting. The Audiencia of Quito was a rather litigious place at the end of the 18th cent., so I was faced with the daunting task of culling through literally thousands of criminal and civil cases, with much greater participation rates by women than I had initially anticipated. I spent about nine months in 20 in Quito, Ecuador working at the Archivo Nacional del Ecuador, and was immediately overwhelmed by the documentary record available in the parameters I had initially established for my project. In addition to looking for affordable research database solutions, I was immediately entranced by the voluminous (literally) possibilities of digital photography in the Archive.
